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”
Call to the Nations
Chorus
Call to the Nations
A desperation cry
Bring forth from the Nations
The sound of Holy Fire
Verse 1
Were living in an hour
When our voices must be heard
No time for disillusion
Demonstration must be wrought
By the hand of mere men
God will release His powr?
To shatter walls and shake up kingdoms
In the face of uncertainty
Were not to be moved
For in our weakness He?s our strength
Verse 2
Burning up the trenches set up by the enemy
Calling on the voice of Mighty waters
No defeat we can?t back down
Come too far can?t give up now
Fire----------------, Fire----------------, Fire------------------, Fire-------------------
Fire, fire, fire,fire, fire,fire,fire
