Walk into the sunlight so bright
Illumination blocking out the night
She knows that the promises are airtight
There is no doubt you can see it in her eyes
You'll hear her singing to heaven
Even without letting out a word to be heard
In every single situation none too big, none too small
She looks up and the world looks on

She sings Hallelujah
When all has become nothing
And her hope in the Savior has colored all she does
And taints the way she loves
She sings Hallelujah and falls to the ground again
With hands stretched up to sky
She is waiting for the day, she'll hear the Father say

Step into the spotlight so bright
A character check in the dead of night
To cut the stays of reason, till death defy
All understanding in the neighbor's eye
To run this race like this day's the last
Celebrate, in all we do and all we say
Look up 'cause the world looks on

She sings Hallelujah
When all has become nothing
And her hope in the Savior has colored all she does
And taints the way she loves
She sings Hallelujah and falls to the ground again
With hands stretched up to sky
She is waiting for the day, she'll hear the Father say

We sing Hallelujah
When all has become nothing
And our hope in the Savior has colored all we do
Let it be for you
We'll sing Hallelujah and fall to the ground again
With hands stretched up to the sky
We're waiting for the day, we'll hear the Father say, yeah

We gonna hear Him say, yeah
"Well done, good and faithful one
Enter in, come on share with me
Welcome home, good and faithful one
It's on and on to eternity"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
