seasons
Tori Harper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around things I'd rather not let go
I've been searching for a reason to hold on
But I'm finding they're all gone, no trace
Oh, the flowers die and grow
And the seasons come and go
And I might just hear a "no" from the Lord
And I know He's got a plan
And he's not finished yet with my heart
It's just the start, the start
Lord, I'm asking you to loosen up my grasp
So that I can just move past, how I feel
I'd like to live at peace and be just as enthralled
With your "yes," and "not at all" the same
Oh, the flowers die and grow
And the seasons come and go
And I might just hear a "no" from the Lord
Oh, but my heart's in His hands
And I know He's got a plan
And he's not finished yet with my heart
It's just the start, the start
I'll trust what you have said:
It's all for my good in the end
Oh, the flowers die and grow
And the seasons come and go
And I might just hear a "no" from the Lord
Oh, but my heart's in His hands
And I know He's got a plan
And he's not finished yet with my heart
It's just the start, the start
The start
In "Seasons" by Tori Harper, the artist talks about a common experience of tightly holding onto things that she doesn't want to let go of. She admits that she has been searching for a reason to hold on, but to no avail, everything has gone without a trace. She goes on to talk about how seasons come and go, and even though she may hear a "no" from the Lord, she knows that her heart is in His hands, and that He is not finished with her yet. She asks the Lord to loosen her grasp so that she can move past how she feels and live at peace. Ultimately, she trusts that everything that happens to her is for her good in the end.
The song speaks to the human experience of holding onto things that we should let go of, whether it be a relationship, a job, a habit, or a past experience. The seasons come and go, just like everything in life does, and it's important to learn how to let go and trust the journey, even when it doesn't seem like things are working in our favor. Tori Harper reminds listeners that they are not alone in their journey and that their heart is in God's hands, and He has a plan for them.
