Church Bells
Gungor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let children sing
Even if they don't know why
Let them sing
Why drown their joy?
Stifle their voice
Just because you've lost
Be healed, amen
Let all men dance
Lift up their hands
Even if they are naive
Let them dance
You've seen it all
You watch them fall
Wash off your face and dance
May all weary hearts
Be filled with hope, amen
The song Church Bells by Gungor is a call to everyone to let go and allow others to express their joy and emotions freely without judgment or criticism. In the first stanza, the lyrics encourage the ringing of church bells and the singing of children, even if they do not understand the reason behind it. It is a message to the listener to embrace the innocence and purity of the childish spirit and allow them to experience the beauty of life without attempting to stifle their joy. The second stanza is a call to all people to dance and lift their hands, regardless of their level of experience or understanding. It is a reminder that everyone has gone through their own trials and failures, and it is essential to embrace the joy and hope found in life's moments.
The bridge of the song speaks directly to those who might be jaded and restricting others from experiencing life fully. The lyrics state, "Yours may all jaded hearts be healed, amen. Wash off your face and dance. May all weary hearts be filled with hope, amen." The bridge conveys the message that everyone has lived through trials and challenges that may have caused them to become jaded or weary of life's possibilities. However, the solution is to embrace the beauty and joy around them and dance, washing away the weariness of their hearts.
