Fireflight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A passion once was lost but now I find,
The only way to be here is with You.
Like a summer breeze I see Your ways,
The mighty trees all bow down to Your praise,
I find myself in awe at Your wondrous hand.
Chorus: I cry out to You,
Use me, Lord use me.
Fill me, Lord fill me.
Open up the window to my mind,
You free from sin and shame that once did bind,
Me to myself and all my hurt inside.
You look upon me not with judging eyes,
But set me free like birds that fill the skies,
These chains that bind are locked up in my mind.
Bridge: Give me the words to speak,
Show me someone to reach,
For Your kingdom above,
Give me the words to speak,
Show me someone to reach,
Someone else needs Your love.
The opening line of "Open up the window to my mind" seems to be a plea for vulnerability and transparency with God. Fireflight seems to be asking to be completely open to what He wants them to do, and welcoming Him to explore the depths of their minds. The second line talks of a lost passion that has now been found. The only way to reignite it is through God. In the following lines, the band draws parallels with nature which shows reverence to God. It appears that Fireflight sees Him as an omnipotent figure worth offering praise to. The chorus expresses a plea to be used by God and filled with His presence. The lyrics sound like an exhortation to God to take complete control of their lives and motivate them to do His will.
The second verse switches gears, moving from the self to how God looks upon them. Fireflight seems to be acknowledging their shortcomings and the shame that once entrapped them. However, they describe a God who doesn't look upon them with accusatory eyes, but instead sets them free. The chains that once bound them are now eradicated from their minds. Finally, the bridge assumes an evangelistic angle. Fireflight seems to be asking for the words to speak to those who need God, someone who would benefit from His love.
