If Pigs Could Fly
Yearning Heights: When Hopes Grounded, Prayers Unanswered
Lyrics
Why does God refuse to move?
Expressing frustration or confusion about God's apparent inaction or lack of response.
If pigs could fly they'd fly away and never grace the earth again
Using a metaphor (pigs flying) to highlight the impossibility of a certain event happening.
I wait and wait and wait and wait but nothing good happens for me
Conveying a sense of prolonged waiting without positive outcomes or rewards.
I pray to fly but when I die my feet are still flat on the ground
Expressing a desire for a miraculous change or escape but feeling disappointment upon death.
My brain is good, no legs of wood, but if you could, I think you should
Asserting mental competence and physical normalcy, encouraging others to fly if possible.
He ain't standin' in my way
Suggesting that God is not an obstacle, and personal inaction is the cause of lack of progress.
'Cause I did nothin' today
Admitting to accomplishing nothing today as a reason for lack of divine intervention.
He ain't standin' in my way
Reiterating that God is not hindering progress, highlighting personal responsibility.
Your ship has crashed no sign of shore-to sit in your lifeboat,
Describing a difficult situation or crisis (shipwreck) with no apparent solution.
You can do no more 5 days at sea starved to the core
Depicting a desperate scenario of being stranded at sea for an extended period, facing starvation.
Lifeboat is leaking a rip in the floor
Adding a physical threat (leaking lifeboat) to the already dire circumstances.
But wait on the horizon-land-land hoe!
Introducing a glimmer of hope (land on the horizon) in the midst of adversity.
Will you sit there and pray or will you get up and row?
Presenting a choice between passively waiting and actively taking initiative to improve the situation.
The next time you are quick to say "I'm just waitin' on the Lord"
Questioning the wisdom of waiting on divine intervention without personal effort.
Just make sure that you remember where we all have been before
Encouraging a reflection on past experiences and the need for proactive action.
All things become one
Concluding with a statement that all things eventually come together as one.
