Worlds Apart
AVB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you do the things you do
I am at a loss for words
Everytime I talk to you
You are always in my prayers
Tell me what else I can do
I think of a lot of former days
Maybe I could have helped you out
I should have been the one to show you Him
I don't know what else to say
This fading world of yours must end (tell me, tell me)
Chorus:
Tell me please what you can't see (tell me please what you can not)
The Savior hung there just for you and me (Savior hung there just for you and me)
This world we know is fading fast
Make the choice to do what's right
My Father, He can help you out
He'll give you strength to win the fight
I guarantee you will succeed
But only if it's with His might (c'mon, c'mon just listen to me)
Where do you run to for your peace
When your dreams all start to shatter
When your life gets torn apart
Broken pieces start to scatter
He will help you put it back
'Cause to Him you always matter (tell me, tell me)
Repeat Chorus
And even though I know we're worlds apart
I'll try to share the feelings from my heart
Just call for Him and He will draw you near
Take his hand - my God, He'll take away your fears
What will it take to change your ways
When you do the things you do
I am at a loss for words
Now every time I talk to you
You are always in my prayers
Tell me what else can I do
What else can I do?
Tell me what else can I do?
The lyrics of AVB's song "World's Apart" speak about the struggles of trying to reach out and help someone who is lost and struggling in their faith. The singer laments about how they feel helpless in the face of the other person's resistance to change their ways, despite being constantly present in their prayers. The singer reflects on their past actions and wishes they could have done more to help, to guide the other person towards salvation. They continue to urge the person to shift their focus to God, to seek His help and guidance in overcoming their struggles, and to recognize the sacrifice that Jesus made for them.
Despite the distance and disconnect between the singer and the other person, the singer still holds onto hope and a willingness to reach out - to share the feelings from their heart and to encourage the other person to call out to God for support. Ultimately, the song highlights the need for grace and patience when trying to help someone, as well as the importance of recognizing our own limitations and the necessity of relying on God for guidance.

Accept his aid - God will remove your worries
What else can I do?
What more can I do to assist you?
Tell me what else can I do?
Let me know how else I can be of help

My favorite song from this album. Great rhythm and musical style, great harmony vocals, and the bass part is amazing, unexpected, and fun.

Mine too even though it's the first time I'm listening to this song. Because of the riddims.
