This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need
To see me through
Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you've got the love I need to see me through
When food is gone you are my daily meal, oh
When friends are gone I know my savior's love is real
You know it's real
'Cause you've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
Time after time I think, "Oh Lord what's the use?"
Time after time I think it's just no good
'Cause sooner or later in life, the things you love you lose
But you've got the love I need to see me through
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
'Cause I know I can count on you, oh
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need
To see me through
Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you've got the love I need to see me through
When food is gone you are my daily meal, oh
When friends are gone I know my savior's love is real
You know it's real
'Cause you've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
Time after time I think, "Oh Lord what's the use?"
Time after time I think it's just no good
'Cause sooner or later in life, the things you love you lose
But you've got the love I need to see me through
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
'Cause I know I can count on you, oh
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Although is does make clear references to God and Christ, it doesn't necessarily have to be a song about them.
The lines where she references either can simply be taking as figures of speech, "Oh Lord, what's the use?" is something many people say when they're frustrated - the first thing that comes out their mouth is, "Oh Lord/Oh God, why?" kinda thing.
The 'Savior' line could be referencing someone who really helped her through a tough time, and they've become the speakers pseudo-savior.
Perhaps it's because I don't believe in God but, my mind immediately goes to this song simply being about someone she cares for deeply, and they've been their person savior at times.
I agree, I really like how she made it that way so you could interpret it both ways not just religious.
The fact is all songs can be about anything you want them to be. However, Candi Staton wrote this as a gospel song first, so it is a song about the love of God.
