What I See
Sierra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some days it looks like rain
Doesn't mean we stay inside
Just because we might get wet
Doesn't mean we run and hide
We're given circumstance
Doesn't mean it's always good
Sometimes things don't end up
The way we thought they would

But my reality
Is nothing less than all that You have promised me

What I see isn't always what will be
I know that there is a hope beyond what I can see

Can't say I understand
Each step along the way
What should be black or white
Suddenly is shades of gray
But when I can't see clear
I simply close my eyes
The light in me is bigger
Than the world outside
It all makes perfect sense
'Cause my trust is in nothing less than providence

It isn't so easy

Not like I thought it would be
But slowly I am seeing things are clear to You

Overall Meaning

Sierra's song "What I See" emphasizes the theme of faith and trust in God's promises despite life's unpredictable circumstances. She acknowledges that sometimes things may not go as expected, and it can be challenging to comprehend why certain events occurred in the first place. ''Some days it looks like rain, doesn't mean we stay inside, just because we might get wet, doesn't mean we run and hide'' implies that bad situations may come, but we don't have to be negatively affected by them or hide from them.

Sierra inspires us to hold onto hope and trust in something beyond what we can see, feel or hear: ''What I see isn't always what will be, I know that there is a hope beyond what I can see.'' Even though she may not always understand why things are happening or why certain choices are not black or white, Sierra chooses to have faith because she knows the light within her overpowers any darkness in the world outside: ''But when I can't see clear, I simply close my eyes, the light in me is bigger than the world outside.'' She knows that a higher power - providence - is influencing her life and will make everything make sense in due time.

In essence, Sierra's message in "What I See" is to trust that everything happens for a reason and hold on to hope in the midst of uncertainties. The song's lyrics inspire listeners to have faith and not be afraid to face whatever comes their way, as long as they know that what they see is not always what will be.
