This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I hear daily news
People cry out for their freedom
My eyes turn to You
Don't they know Lord
You can lead them
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him
Make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken
God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken
I pray, save our souls
Help us find a new direction
We're lost in the cold
Let Your arms be our protection
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him
Make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken
God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken
Out of the dark
Into the light
He is there for us
With all His might
He has the answers
He hears your prayers
Turn every corner and you'll find Him there
Don't leave your heart unspoken
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him
Make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken
God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken
People cry out for their freedom
My eyes turn to You
Don't they know Lord
You can lead them
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him
Make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken
God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken
I pray, save our souls
Help us find a new direction
We're lost in the cold
Let Your arms be our protection
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him
Make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken
God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken
Out of the dark
Into the light
He is there for us
With all His might
He has the answers
He hears your prayers
Turn every corner and you'll find Him there
Don't leave your heart unspoken
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him
Make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken
God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken

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.
