Seasons Change
Lewis A. Martineé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
yes, I've been there before
Where the trees are slowly whithering
Where their roots cry out for more
where the desert floor is dry and cracked
No clouds hang in the sky
No winter rain or spring it seems
No change in sight
(Chorus)
But seasons change and then they pass
no way to know how long they'll last
I'd love to know the reasons why
But God knows
Seasons change and then they pass
no way to know how long they'll last
I'd love to know the reasons why
But God knows
Seasons change
Are you going through a dry spell?
I've been there a time or two
Where life seems to stay the same for a while
You want to change but don't know how to
It's the place where you feel empty inside
Can't put your finger on the need
I look at God and see what I want to be
I look at me and see what I am
(Chorus)
Are you going through a dry spell?
I was there a while ago
Now I've come to a place where the rain falls
where the trees bear fruit and grow
where I find a refuge in my God
It's a place of surrender I know
I look at God and see what I want to be
He looks at me and sees His own
(Chorus)
The lyrics of "Seasons Change" by Lewis A. Martineé speak to the experience of going through difficult and stagnant periods in life, often referred to as a "dry spell." The song acknowledges that everyone goes through these periods, and the feeling of being stuck or lacking growth can be overwhelming. The imagery of withering trees and a dry and cracked desert floor symbolizes the barrenness and lack of vitality that one may feel during these times.
The chorus emphasizes the inevitability of change and the passing of seasons. The lyrics suggest that although we may not know how long these difficult periods will last, there is a belief that change will eventually come. The desire to understand the reasons behind these seasons of struggle is expressed, but also acknowledges the uncertainty and mystery that surrounds such changes. The repeated line "But God knows" highlights a sense of surrender and trust in a higher power, implying that there is a greater plan and purpose behind these seasons of change.
The second verse continues to explore the experience of a dry spell, with the artist reflecting on their own journey and personal struggles. It conveys the frustration of wanting to break free from stagnation but not knowing how to effect change. The lyrics suggest that the desire for personal growth and transformation arises from looking at God and seeing the ideal, the person one wants to be, contrasting with the reality of looking at oneself and recognizing the flaws and limitations.
In the final verse, the tone shifts to a more positive and hopeful outlook. The artist reveals that they have moved beyond the dry spell and have arrived at a place where rain falls and trees bear fruit. This signifies a period of renewal, growth, and spiritual nourishment. The lyrics indicate that this transformation has been achieved through surrendering to God and finding sanctuary and guidance in a higher power. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the message that seasons change and pass, but there is comfort in knowing that with time, one can move beyond difficult periods and find renewal and growth.
