In the Garden
Still Alive And Well Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel the sun on my skin
And of every place I have ever gone before
Here is where I've always been
As I rest here into the silence
And the wind blows the trees so easy
I feel myself letting go
Free from the lock-step of my bustling
And the thought that life was somehow somewhere out there
As I still myself and listen
And breathe in the air
There's a rule for being in the garden
It's a simple one that no one can enforce
It's up to you
The lyrics to "Mary, Did You Know?" by Still Alive And Well are a series of rhetorical questions directed towards Mary, the mother of Jesus. The song wonders if Mary fully understood the magnitude of her son's divine abilities and future impact on the world.
The first verse asks Mary if she knew that her son, Jesus, would walk on water and save people, implying his divine power. The following verses take it further by asking if she knew that her son would heal the blind and calm storms with his hand. The lyrics go on to ask if Mary knew her son walked with angels or that kissing him was like kissing the face of God. The final verse proclaims that Jesus is Lord of all creation, would rule the nations, and is heaven's perfect lamb.
The song is a beautiful tribute to Mary and the wonderment that may have surrounded her as the mother of Jesus. It reflects on the idea that sometimes the full impact of a moment or person's actions may not be completely understood until later on. The song uses Mary, a human vessel for God's son, as a reminder that it's not just the actions of those directly involved in an event that matter but also the impact they have on the world.
