You are not alone
Devotion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a dream I hold you close
Embracing you with my hands
You gazed at me
With eyes full of love
And made me understand
That I was meant to share it with you
My heart, my mind, my soul
Then I open my eyes and all I see
Reality shows I'm alone
But I know someday that you'll be by my side
Cause I know God's just waiting till the time is right

CHORUS
God will you keep her safe from the thunderstorm?
When the day is cold will you keep her warm?
When darkness falls will you please shine her the way?
God will you let her know that I love her so?
When there's no one there that she's not alone
Just close her eyes
And let her know my heart is beating with hers

So I pray until the day
When our hearts will beat as one
I will wait so patiently
For that day to come
I know someday that you'll be by my side
Cause I know God's just waiting till the time is right

Repeat CHORUS

It's beating with hers
My heart is beating with hers
It's beating with hers

Repeat CHORUS

Ohhh.. it's beating with hers.





[spoken]
It's beating with hers.

This song means so much to me than it may for anyone else. Earlier in November, my Grandpa said he'd take my little brother and I to see Devotion in theaters. Later that month, he got sick and had to go to the hospital. And afterward, he started to get sicker. Doctor's said it was gas, but we later learned he was priming for a heart attack/stroke.

On December 4th, 2022... there was a fire near where we lived with what looked like almost 20 fire engines/ambulances and what not. So after we'd did our routine with my Grandma, of going to sheetz and getting a cup of hot tea. We went over to check out the fire, my grandpa was both a fireman and a Veteran of the United States Air Force.

After we saw what everything was about, we started to head back to the car. My grandpa was strong as fort knox and we never knew anything was wrong, but on the way back he confessed he had trouble balancing and standing. So I let him hold onto me as we walked, he kept saying he needed to get to the car... Where my grandma was at... But as we turned the corner, I looked back at his face, and told him to sit down. He later collapsed and I held him in my arms until EMS could arrive. When we got to the hospital, we found out they were able to restart his heart. He later passed away at 4am on December 5th, 2022.

He is my hero, my friend, and the only person who was ever like a father to me. He raised me!

So tonight, honoring our original plans. I bought a ticket for him, me, and my brother to this movie; Devotion. Toward the end, we were crying but when this played... It damn near broke us... This song has a sentimental meaning to us. We later took a picture outside the auditorium near a poster. Me and my brother kneeled by the bench, while we left the bench empty under the poster. Just for him...

Rest in peace, pap. We love you, miss you, and cherish every moment we had... You will forever live on as a part of us.

December 27th, 1954 - December 5th, 2022.
Tech Sergeant (ret.) - United States Air Force.

@Galm 1 guilty of the same thing

It was shot so wonderfully and the performances….insane. Good insane.

But usually I’m a “running for the door guy”when a movie ends. These vocals….SO GOOD and so well produced. I was locked in my seat—hands on my heart with my mouth open sobbing…then laughing that I was sobbing. For the record, last time I did that was when the Seahawks lost the Super Bowl on the two yard line. Ha.

But…Devotion and 1917….both EASILY my favorite war movies. Was great to learn about Corsairs…and—don’t get me wrong—I appreciate all 478 Nam and WW2 movies. Love some.

But this one had so much heart. I wanna go again :)

I cried so hard at the end of this film and this was the perfect song for the credits, so well done! I hope people get out and see Devotion

I got in the car after the movie and played this song and just broke down

thomas GEORGE

Great story and a perfect song to end it

Edwin Ramos

Hudner received a Medal of Honor for risking his life to save Brown life. That right there is the definition of devotion. I read about both of them in Google and their story must be told to everyone.

Joe’s voice only seems to get better and better over the years. His range is incredible. Khalid is amazing also. I wouldn’t be surprised if they got the Oscar nomination that’s been buzzing around.

AJMs

I would love to see them performing this live at the Oscars. 🤩
