Miles
Peter La Grand Lyrics

O God I have something to say
The singer is calling out to God, acknowledging that they have something important to say

My flesh is weak my spirit is meek
The singer is admitting that they are physically weak and their spirit is humble

And I'm down on my knees again
The singer is in a position of submission and is seeking guidance from a higher power

Soul searching never takes me anywhere but here
The artist has been on a journey of introspection and self-discovery, but feels stuck in the same place

They say I'm a lost cause just cut the loss
Others may view the artist as a hopeless case and think it's best to give up on them

Take what you still have and catch the last train out of here
Advice to leave behind what is lost and move on with what is salvageable

I've walked miles and I don't know where I'm headed
The singer has been on a long journey without direction or purpose

I've walked miles and now the road has ended
The journey has come to an end without achieving any clear goal

Spirit of truth, carry me through, give me a vision
The artist is asking for divine intervention to guide them and provide a clear path forward

Everyone I know finds some way of belonging
The artist recognizes that others have found their place in life, but they have not

But I'm always outside, guilty as tried,
The singer always feels excluded and like they don't fit in, even though they've tried to belong

Fading away while the credits roll down
The artist feels like they are disappearing into the background, becoming irrelevant

One foot out the door is how I have learned to live
The singer has become accustomed to being guarded and prepared to leave at a moment's notice

I know there's a better way for me today
The singer believes that there is a better path available for them if they can find it

And I'm out to find it
The singer is actively pursuing a better way of life

I'm not too proud to beg and plead
The artist is willing to humble themselves and seek help to achieve their goal

Lord you know I am weak from walking these
The artist acknowledges their own weakness in the face of a long and difficult journey

Miles and I don't know where the road is headed
The singer has walked a great distance without knowing where they are going

Walking these miles and so many have ended
The singer has walked many miles without finding success or closure

Walking these miles, yes I believe it
The artist affirms their own journey, even though it has been difficult and uncertain

Miles, help me to see it
Asking for clarity and understanding in the midst of a long and confusing journey

Spirit of truth carry me through
Asking for divine guidance and support to continue on the journey

Bring a vision
Asking for a clear and inspiring goal or destination to aim for

Every night I still look up to the heavens
The artist still has faith and hope, even though their journey has been difficult

Late, when the city sleeps and the world is so quiet around me
The singer finds peace and quiet in the stillness of night

Then I still believe there is a way to make it through
Even in the darkest moments, the singer still has faith in their ability to overcome their struggles

And I will find it if I can carry on
The singer is determined to persevere and continue on their journey until they find success

You know just what I need
The artist trusts that God knows their needs and will provide for them

These miles past where all the roads have ended
The artist has gone beyond the point of clear direction or guidance

These miles to a promised land, I can see it
The singer has a vision of a better future, and is willing to endure hardship to reach it

These miles
The journey the singer has been on, which has been difficult and uncertain
