The Powers That Be Lyrics
It's more than understanding, to realize just what it means
Interpretations, different meanings, can be drawn out of anything
It all makes sense now, I see it clear
The picture comes together, and I have lost the fear
Your heart is the key
The powers that be
Are handed to me
There is no suit of armor to pretect you from the dark
Just let your guard down, and the sword will hit the mark
The words get twisted, you hear the lies
Just takes a look around you, and pray they realize
Your heart is the key
The powers that be
My sanctuary
It's not what you wear, it's what's in your mind
It's not worth the emptiness inside
I have left all blackness behind
No more questions about black and white
A gift of free will, the choice is all up to you
Just let your faith rule, and you will know what to do
The cults grow stronger, I'll stay away
I'm looking at tomorrow, now I know the way
Your heart is the key
The powers that be
Are handed to me
Interpretations, different meanings, can be drawn out of anything
It all makes sense now, I see it clear
The picture comes together, and I have lost the fear
The powers that be
Are handed to me
Just let your guard down, and the sword will hit the mark
The words get twisted, you hear the lies
Just takes a look around you, and pray they realize
The powers that be
My sanctuary
It's not worth the emptiness inside
I have left all blackness behind
No more questions about black and white
Just let your faith rule, and you will know what to do
The cults grow stronger, I'll stay away
I'm looking at tomorrow, now I know the way
The powers that be
Are handed to me

This song talks of higher powers and beliefs that many live their lives through. Religious extremists pray away their suffering and problems, and when said problem goes away, with or without their input, believers will say "thanks to god." The song further states that people shouldn't live their lives on prayer and hope but by living by their hearts. Because with a strong heart and thinking for yourself, you can get through any hardships that life throws at you. It also encourages you to let go of superficial desires or needs and instead focus on personal growth and fulfillment and encourages you to look deep into your soul. You must prioritize your personal values, and make choices that align with one's inner spirit.
