Lyrics
Once upon a time I was alone, didn't know where to go
Expresses a past time of solitude and confusion about direction.
Turns out living all alone really takes a toll
Living alone had a negative impact, indicating emotional toll.
Little did I know he was right there with me
Realization that a divine presence was always there.
Little did I know I'm who he wanted me to be
Acknowledging alignment with the purpose intended by a higher power.
So I picked up his words and ended the curse
Taking up divine guidance, breaking a negative cycle or curse.
And started to read
Engaging with sacred teachings or scriptures.
God said, look into my eyes I see you
God inviting a deep connection through eyes, symbolizing understanding.
Look into the sky I hear you
Encouraging observation of the divine through nature (sky).
Look into your heart I'm for you
Directing attention to inner feelings and emotions.
I am with you
Repetition emphasizing continuous divine presence.
I am with you
-I am with you
-He's the ending, he's the start
Describing the divine as both the beginning and the end.
He's my savior inside of my heart
Personalizing the divine as a savior residing within the heart.
He's the lantern in the dark
Depicting the divine as a source of guidance in challenging times.
In the dark
Reiteration of divine support in times of darkness.
I never really realized how amazing everything was
Realization of the beauty in life through divine revelation.
Not until he gave it to me, not until he showed me love
Attributing the positive aspects of life to divine generosity.
Living every day really thinking I was stuck
Previous unawareness of life's wonders.
I was sinking, I was tired
Expressing feelings of being trapped and fatigued.
I was headed to the lake of fire
Metaphorical reference to a perilous situation or spiritual danger.
This my warning, that's the devil's empire
Identification of negative forces associated with the devil.
And if you don't repent
Warning about the consequences of not repenting.
That's a sure fire way to burn beside him every day
Describing the result of not repenting as aligning with evil.
For the rest of all eternity
Highlighting the severity and eternal nature of the consequences.
I'm not judging, just believe that you don't have to pay
Not passing judgment but emphasizing the avoidable cost of not believing.
Cause Jesus died on the cross for you
Summarizing the Christian narrative of Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection.
Then he rose cause he is the truth
-The way and the life
-And God said, look into my eyes I see you
Reiteration of divine presence and support in different aspects of life.
Look into the sky I hear you
-Look into your heart I'm for you
-I am with you
-I am with you
-I am with you
Continued affirmation of the divine's constant presence.
