Amazing Grace
Esteban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a-going home
Quiet like, some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by,
Through an open door,
Work all done, care laid by,
Going to fear no more
Father's waiting too,
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see.
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on,
Wide awake, with a smile
Going on and on
Going home, going home
I'm just going home,
Ot's not far, just close by
Through an open door.
I'm just going home.
The first verse of Esteban's song "Amazing Grace" talks about going home. It brings in a tone of peace and comfort where the singer describes the journey as quiet and still. It seems like the end of the journey is near, and the singer is looking forward to the peace and rest that comes from being at home. The singer portrays this journey into the next life as a reunion with family, friends and loved ones waiting for him. It leads us to a calming sensation and acceptance of the inevitable departing.
The second verse is the famous hymn known as "Amazing Grace." It expresses how the grace of God is powerful enough to turn a wretched and blind person into someone who can see and is saved. The lyrics allude to the personal experience of John Newton, who wrote the original hymn, where he experienced God's grace when he was at his lowest point as a slave trader. Furthermore, it highlights how grace can inspire fear but also bring relief to that fear.
The third verse conveys a concept of timelessness where the singer suggests that there is no end to the journey - just a continuation of living on, wide awake, with a smile. The idea of timelessness and infinity is expressed in "when we've been there ten thousand years." It portrays a flourishing praise and surrender to God that is eternal.

Mister Zee
Thank you for sharing this Renita... You have made a huge difference in my life as a guitarist... Esteban is such a great teacher and I have learn't 4 classical pieces so far in the last month of discovery and still have much to learn... it's now 21st June 2019... Thank you once again X...

I first heard Estaban in the late summer of 1985. I had just moved to Arizona and went to an open air arts and crafts show in Cave Creek, AZ and there was Estaban selling his very 1st CD. My wife and I then kind of followed Estaban when he played at different venues around Phoenix. We have all of his CDs signed by him. Just wish these old fingers could work to reach all of the chords.

I'm beginning guitar and the thing im trying to master is holding the guitar right and positioning my hands into the arch as Esteban says. It's annoying right now but Im sure Ill get it eventually
