the beginning introduces the cruelty of this world especially with the first line. us (children) are trying to find solid ground to stand on a "shaking" world. things are not stable.
the foreigners would be anyone to sees the human race for the first time would even understand pain && how fear would even understand pain too at first. (you know, how we not act or do act on fear to avoid pain)
"hands off your fate, child, you'll bury yourself in mistakes." asks the question should we leave life on our will entirely? if so, that causes us pain. but how on earth do we fix this? so what to do now?
"see the reverse; there's an answer there" means to explore yourself. this is directly tied with Socrates famous quote: "the unexamined life is not worth living." jordan says to reflect on your life.
"my, my, the ways i've changed since then--the ways i've changed. and all I ever say is "i'm (tired)"
jordon here obviously understands the importance of self examination; he's changed himself to better himself but now he is tired && discouraged in his spiritual growth and personal character growth.
ahhh how poetic jordan is! "water into wining" i love that line because Christ turned water into whine but Jordan takes this and put his poetic touch to illustrate how we've forsaken Christ's blood and how we all whined because we are tired of the pain caused by this world. He just wants to be like Christ. && he says here that others do too.
I freakin' love this song. It takes about Jordan's struggles with the personal walk with Christ. Which I love since I am on the same boat. Hope this helps!
