September
Kirk Franklin Lyrics

Do you remember twenty-first night of September?
Do you recall a specific moment in your life, a day or an event that was important to you, like the 21st night of September?

Before you go cold like December
Before you lose your emotions and become distant and cold, like what happens during winter in December.

And all you saw a cloudy day
And everything seems dark, negative, and difficult, like how things feel during cloudy days.

And I remember that day when you surrender
I recall a day when you gave up, stopped fighting and surrendered to your struggles.

You start turning 'cause you remember
You begin to change and see things differently because you remember something important, like a happy moment or God's love.

The season it won't last away
This difficult time, season or phase will not last, it will eventually pass and things will get better.

Ba de ya, tell me you remember
Remember the positive memories, and tell me if you recall them too.

Ba de ya, and your heart felt like September
And your heart felt warm, happy and full of joy, like the feelings associated with September.

You still had the joy and God was just a prayer away
Even during the difficult times, you had the happiness and peace that comes from having God in your life, just one prayer away from you.

Sing like forever
Sing joyfully and energetically, as if it will last forever.

You said when will my life get better?
You questioned when your life will improve and become less difficult and painful.

I'm tired of stormy weather
You're exhausted of the tough times, like the negative impact of stormy weather.

But the sun always shines in day
Remember that despite the tough times, there is hope and positivity, just like the sun that shines during a day.

So just remember
Always recall and cherish the happy and positive moments, even more so during difficult times.

The next time you feel like December
The next time you feel cold, distant, and negative, like what happens during winter in December.

Remember the night in September
Remember that happy night or event that made you feel good, just like the feelings associated with September.

When God wiped all your tears away
Remember that God can provide the comfort and peace that helps you overcome your struggles and emotions.

Everybody has a September in their life
Everyone has happy and positive memories in their life that they cherish and remember forever, just like the feelings associated with September.

You know, that first time you heart God's voice
Everyone remembers the first time they heard or felt God's love, comfort and presence in their life.

Oh, you felt His Love
You felt the love and comfort that comes from God's presence in your life.

After winter comes spring
Remember that after the tough times, there is hope and positivity, just like how winter is followed by spring.

Ba de ya
Mentioning the sounds-like lyrics that evoke happy feelings and memories.

(I can see clearly now)
Expressing positivity and hope, like how one can see clearly after a tough time or difficulty.

(The sun is much brighter now)
The light and positivity, like a brighter sun or better days, can be perceived and felt after overcoming the negative times.

(The season it won't last away)
Reinforcing the message that the negative time or phase will not last, and that better times are ahead.
