Grow
Wake Owl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
begging like a beggar diseased, praying that she, that she show mercy,
Maybe we can walk at sunrise, at seaside
Maybe we can walk at sunrise, at seaside
Listen to the birds as they fly, and we rise
Listen to the birds as they fly, and we rise
Crying out, crying out to who would lead from this place i didn't know
Maybe we can walk at sunrise, at seaside
Maybe we can walk at sunrise, at seaside
Listen to the birds as they fly, and we rise
Listen to the birds as they fly, and we rise

I went down on one knee asking for forgiveness oh please,
I humbly asked for forgiveness, begging like a desperate person ravaged by a disease, hoping that she would have mercy on me
praying that she, that she show mercy,
I prayed earnestly that she would show me mercy
Maybe we can walk at sunrise, at seaside
Perhaps we can take a stroll along the shore at dawn
Listen to the birds as they fly, and we rise
We can embrace the freedom and uplifting spirit of the birds as we walk together
I was shaken, held the hand of you, looking at the bottom of my soul,
I was deeply moved and held onto you tightly as I examined the depths of my soul
Crying out, crying out to who would lead from this place i didn't know
I cried out to anyone who could guide me out of the uncertain and unfamiliar place I found myself in
