Koryn Hawthorne feat. J. Monty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because everyone says it gets better
But they also leave out the second part
It will always get worse again
The song "Reasons" by Koryn Hawthorne feat. J. Monty is an uplifting and empowering Christian song that focuses on the power and supremacy of God. The main message of the song is that no matter what challenges or obstacles one may face in life, God has the final say and will always be there to guide and protect his people. The lyrics begin by posing the question "who has the final say?", and then assertively answering it with "Jehovah has the final say". The chorus repeats this statement multiple times to reinforce the message and build up momentum.
The first verse addresses the fear that can arise from a negative medical diagnosis or financial crisis, but the singer declares that even in these situations, God's authority is greater and more final than any human prognosis or bank statement. The second verse further emphasizes this point and encourages listeners to trust in God's light and protection, rather than succumbing to fear. The bridge of the song acknowledges the reality of life's difficulties, but also proclaims the belief that with God's presence, no challenge is insurmountable or impossible to overcome.
