Save Me
Rhema Soul Lyrics

The other day I heard a cry from a baby
I heard the sound of a crying baby, and it was beautiful.

And the sound was amazing
The sound of a baby crying was wonderful and inspiring to me.

As I contemplated, "How do we start so simple and get so complicated?"
I wondered how life could start out so straightforward but become so complex and difficult as we grow older.

So we search and we try to be clever
We constantly look for ways to be smart and find solutions to problems.

Can't stand but we lie together
Despite our flaws and tendency to deceive, we are still connected and intertwined with each other.

We spring through the summer, winter we slumber
We move quickly through the warmer, more vibrant times in our lives, but become idle and inactive during the colder, darker periods.

The fall of man's gone forever
The original sin that caused humans to become flawed and imperfect has passed and cannot be undone.

I feel like I've lost my way
I feel lost and unsure of my direction in life.

How can I get it back show me
Please help me find my way back to the right path and guide me towards my purpose.

Alone on my own I let you
I let you into my life, but only when I am by myself and without the distractions and influence of others.

But now I need you to save me
I need your help and guidance to overcome the challenges and obstacles in my life.

I can still hear the cry of our nation; we need you
I can hear the collective pleas of my country, who are in need of help and support during difficult times.

But we keep on fighting, hoping and trying, yet your love will keep us alive
Despite our struggles and efforts, it is ultimately your love that sustains us and allows us to keep going.

This generation is broke and needs healing
The younger generation is suffering and in need of healing, both physically and emotionally.

Someone how we lost sight of who you are but we bow down now
We have strayed from our faith and forgotten who you are, but we are now humbling ourselves before you and seeking your help.

I'm like a generation that's drowning
I feel suffocated and overwhelmed, as if I am drowning in my struggles and problems.

Beneath the silver moon I'm far from grounded
Even in the peaceful and serene light of the moon, I still feel disconnected and unsteady.

I speak the language of the streets but my insecurities they surround me
Despite my rough exterior and ability to fit in with those around me, my inner doubts and fears constantly weigh me down.

Like the smoke I blow from nostrils meant to take in the scent from flowers
My actions and behavior may appear normal on the surface, but underneath I am struggling to fulfill my purpose and desires.

Hours turn to days and days give birth to twins of crumbling towers
As time passes, my problems and obstacles seem to grow and multiply, eventually becoming impossible to manage and overcome.

Even the grass is winterkilled, creation seems to only wither
Everything around me feels lifeless and dying, as if no beauty or growth can come from this world.

And redemption is but an afterthought see I can sympathize with killers
Even the concept of redemption and forgiveness seems distant and insignificant, and I can understand why people may resort to extreme, violent measures to cope with their pain and struggles.

On nights like these, on nights like these I find comfort in shadows
During my darkest moments and lowest points, I find myself seeking comfort and solace in darkness and isolation.

Breaking bread with bitter thieves who stole my rights to meet the gallows
I am surrounded by deceitful and corrupt individuals who have robbed me of my freedoms and opportunities.

But it's like I'm being kept alive, kept alive by something cosmic
Despite all of my struggles and pain, I feel as if something greater than myself is keeping me alive and guiding me towards a better future.

Something large, something invading, it's something cosmic
This force or energy that I feel is so much bigger and powerful than anything that I have experienced before.

But I left my will to live in a crack house three blocks away
Despite this cosmic energy keeping me alive, I struggle to maintain my own motivation and drive to live a fulfilling life.

And I surrendered my self-respect to the pimps and hoes who rule the day
I have given up on myself and allowed those around me who are immoral and abusive to control my life and actions.

I'm a generation that's drowning, sinking deep like submarines
As a member of this younger generation, I feel as if we are all sinking deeper and deeper into our problems and struggles, without the ability to resurface or escape.

From old Blind Bartimaeus to the little child wearing dungarees
This plight and struggle is not limited to just myself or my generation, but has existed throughout history and affects people from all walks of life, young and old.

I'm speaking from a place of hunger, from a place of wonder
My words and emotions come from a deep place within me, rooted in my desire for understanding and my wonder at the world around me.

Where we rape and plunder. I'm a drowning generation
Despite our best efforts to succeed and thrive, we are often faced with corruption and greed that drags us down and prevents us from reaching our potential.

And you can't hear me because the thunder
Despite my cries for help and desperation to be heard, my voice is drowned out by the overwhelming noise and chaos of the world around me.
