I lay in the fields
Watching you arise the dead in me
Everyone’s looking for something.
Across the ground, scattered with the bones of past psalms and revolutions and the old, worn faith your father lent you.
Everyone is singing a song. And it’s always about the same thing. Love lost, love found, that great open space between heaven and earth.
Forget the proselytism, forget the harsh edges of the letter of the law. There’s someone up there, and He is like water and fire, deep with grace and mystery.
These are not songs of a preacher. They’re not ballads to lilting love. These are just alms to that old, worn faith. Skin for the skeleton. The sound of someone looking for a resurrection. From the opening throes of ‘Hallelujah’ to the closing refrain of ‘Resurrection Song’, Water and Fire is the sound of someone who travels with dust on his feet, connected to the earth, but eyeing heaven.
Everyone’s looking for something. Sometimes it is home. Sometimes it’s that long lost love. Sometimes it’s God.
Most times it is all of these.
This is my resurrection song,
Written in the only ink I own.
Not Alone
Strahan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe, you and I can do our own thing,
All I want is for you and I to get down.
Baby I know just what your thinking,
I've got what you need but can you handle it,
All night long, all I want,
Is for you and I to go dance.
[Chorus]
Baby we can do it,
Lets dance all night.
Come on make your move
Let's party all night
All night long,
All I want is for us to get down
Move on down to the dance floor,
The way you move you make me want you more,
All I want is for you and I to get down.
Just let the music take control of you,
Why don't we do what we came here to do,
All night long, all I want,
Is for us to get down, get down.
[Chorus: x2]
We're gonna dance til the early morn',
We're gonna do what we came here for.
Move on down to the dance floor,
And get down, get down.
[Repeat: x2]
In the song "Not Alone" by Strahan, the singer is encouraging his love interest to not let others dictate their actions and to follow their own desires.

The singer also hints at his own desire for a physical connection with his love interest, suggesting that he has what she needs, but questioning if she can handle it. When he says "just let the music take control of you" it implies that he wants her to let go of any reservations and simply enjoy the moment with him.
Overall, the song celebrates the idea of two people breaking away from societal norms and following their own passions, both musically and romantically.

This reminds me of when we used to talk about the new earth in church, and the aches that seem to lead towards it. This song makes me ache for that day when heaven and earth become one.
