Signs
Austin Crute Lyrics

I don't know where I'm going, where I'm going
I'm lost and confused about my direction in life

So why do they tell me
People keep giving me advice even though they don't know my situation

Run boy run without knowing, without knowing
Everyone tells me to run and keep moving forward, without knowing the full picture

I must have a monster on my tail
Something terrifying is chasing after me

So I am trusting You to guide me
I am relying on faith to lead me forward

I know my faith is strong so I'll run on for my survival
My strength from faith will keep me going, even when things get tough

They've placed a dagger in my hand
I've been handed a dangerous task

Told me forget what's left behind me
I'm being encouraged to leave my past behind and focus on the present and future

Follow the road they said
I've been given specific instructions on what path to take

And He'll be there for your arrival
Faith assures me that God will be with me when I reach the end

What will I do if I trip and fall
I'm worried about failing and losing my way

If I lose my way, will I lose it all
I'm afraid that getting off course will ruin everything

There's a fork in the road where I'm standing
I've come to a crucial choicepoint on my journey

Would a little direction be a prayer worth granting
I'm hoping for guidance and support from a higher power

I can't feel my feet and my tongue is dry
I'm exhausted and drained, both physically and emotionally

Is keeping the path really worth my life
I'm questioning whether or not the journey is worth sacrificing my wellbeing

I don't know but the road is expanding
I'm uncertain, but the journey is continuing to unfold

Someone called through the shadows
A mysterious figure appeared to me from the darkness

I stopped in desperation
I was in a state of dire need and despair

She told me the beam of light in the distance was my
I was advised to follow a distant light in the darkness

Destination, destination
That light was my intended goal

Asked her if I could rest my head
I asked for a break or a reprieve from my journey

And if she'd been where I was going
I wanted to know if this mysterious figure had traveled the same path as me

She said "Follow me and I will give you restoration"
The figure promised to heal and restore me if I followed them

Told her all the things that I'd seen
I shared my experiences and struggles with the figure

And reiterated my question
I repeated my request for guidance and direction

Turns out, yes, she had been there
The figure had indeed traveled the same path as me

And it must become my obsession
I was told that focusing on my goal was crucial to success

But if I stay with her too long
There was a cautionary warning about spending too much time with this figure

The darkness will catch up with me
If I lingered too long, I risked getting lost in the shadows and losing my way

I begged her but no she's not the answer
Ultimately, this figure was not the solution to my problems

All I want is a sign
I'm yearning for a clear indication of what to do next

Any sign from You
I'm looking for divine intervention or guidance

Sticks and stones
Negative words or actions from others

They may break my bones
These negative words or actions can physically and emotionally harm me

But I'll break my will if I go back home
My willpower will diminish if I give up and return to my starting point

I gotta keep my head held high
I need to stay optimistic and confident

I gotta keep my faith and try
I need to maintain my spiritual faith and keep persevering

So what if on the way I die
Death is not as important as achieving my goal or fulfilling my purpose

None of us make it out alive
Life is fleeting and temporary for everyone

I just need one sign
A single indication of the right path would suffice

What with every hill I've climbed
I've faced many obstacles and challenges on my journey thus far

I'm waiting on you (Oo Ohhh)
I'm hoping for divine guidance and intervention

Oh, I'm searching for you (And now I wanna know)
I'm actively seeking divine guidance and trying to discern the correct path
