Need An Answer
Rhema Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1:
I got questions, questions all in my mind
But if the answer is right here, then maybe I’m blind
I don’t know, no I don’t know,
but if You are who you are
Take the wheel
Right now I’m out of control
The saying that I’m going in and it’s like
A shot of adrenaline on this mic
Like I’m on Ritalin giggling cuz I’m livin and giving up every minute to the one giving us light
I’m all in for the lum sum till the son comes or the fat lady done sung her last song
Or till the drum thumps
Rump a pump pump and the trumpet sounds and we blast off
But that don’t mean I ain’t got questions though
I’m imperfect and less than most
But while I’m searching for a purpose what emerges
Is nothing less than dope

Chorus:
I need an answer.
I need it right now.
Somebody tell me.
Cause I need a way out.
I need an answer.
Can you take me higher?
I want to feel you.
You’re my desire.
So may questions
in my head like a choir.
I need an answer.
Light me up like a fire.

Verse 2:
Everybody wanna question.
Everybody talk, nobody listening.
Everybody want to look at me cause I’m christian.
People all around want to see how I’m living.
Though I moved on, I can choose one
moment in my life, wanting to be loosed from.
I’ve been broken, peace stolen.
People need to see what it means to believe on, on.
Everybody want to know why
I do what I do.
I know God saves, gotta let them know
he’s the only way I’m gonna make it through.
Everybody want to question life.
But aint nobody ready.
The answers through him.
Everything I do, everything I say.
I do it for the people we losing.

Chorus:
I need an answer.
I need it right now.
Somebody tell me.
Cause I need a way out.
I need an answer.
Can you take me higher?
I want to feel you.
You’re my desire.
So may questions
in my head like a choir.
I need an answer.
Light me up like a fire.

Verse 3:
Been a long time coming
And we’re still never risking
Looking for the words that can free us in an instant
distant, looking for the exit
Right there breathless
Walking like sheep with a death wish
Not a mention of a name, or mention of a change
…. In the center of the pain
Side to side like a rose peddle in the rain
Trying to peddle in the rain
Getting burnt like kettle to the flame
We never budge or settle for the change
Never true, never transparent … cellophane
Got some good in our blood, but I bet it’s vain
And its strange when you see somebody grab hold
Choose life and break free from the black hole




Never give in, never stop, never look back on
these trials, gotta move got to strap on
