Hey You
C.N.Blue Lyrics

Hey, You!
Introducing the song and addressing the listener directly.

I've got a song to sing about a beautiful thing
The singer wants to tell the listener about something wonderful and uplifting through the medium of music.

It's free to get it, you must choose to receive it
The beautiful thing being referred to is open and readily available, but the listener must make a decision to accept it for themselves.

I'm not here to talk about what's wrong and what is right, but what I really know
The singer is not interested in bringing up the negatives or the flaws of the world, but instead wants to focus on something positive and true.

There's mercy for us all
The singer believes that everyone deserves to be shown compassion and forgiveness.

God longs to be so close, He longs for you to hear His voice
The singer is addressing the listener's relationship with God and how it can be improved by listening to His words.

The only thing you have to do is to tell Him to come in and be your king
To start a closer relationship with God, the listener only needs to invite Him into their heart and acknowledge His authority.

Hey, you! I'm talking to you. Don't you know that God just loves you so much
Reiterating the singer's desire to communicate directly with the listener and remind them of God's love for them.

There are many songs (so many songs) about so much love
Acknowledging the abundance of love songs in the world, but wanting to share a message that goes beyond romantic love.

You strive to get it, sometimes pay to receive it
Love is often sought after and sometimes even bought, but the beautiful thing being referred to is free and priceless.

I'm not here to prophecy (Not prophesying) what's wrong and what is right, but what I really know- Someone loves us all
Once again, emphasizing the singer's intention to avoid negativity and instead focus on the positive message that there is someone who loves us all - God.

God paid the price for you. He sent His son to die for you. So you can have eternal life.
The singer is referring to the Christian belief that Jesus, the son of God, died for the sins of humanity so that they may have eternal life.

His love is higher, deeper, wider, longer, stronger than you've ever known
Describing God's love as boundless and beyond human comprehension.

Don't you know that God just loves you so much
Reiterating the main message of the song, that God loves the listener deeply.

Hey, You! I'm talking to you. Don't you know that God just longs for you
Describing God's desire for a closer relationship with the listener.

You just tell Him to come in and be your king
The singer is reminding the listener that accepting God and letting Him guide their life is a simple process - just invite Him in.
