Intentions
We Came As Romans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The intent, I intend, the intentions of one will guide.
I strive to speak what I have learned and learn from those I see.
To step out of this life is my ambition.
To speak out and show you what I have seen.

I am one voice amidst the shouts of many.
I cry for those without a voice, for those who don't know that they have a choice.
Open your eyes and see what it means to feel compassion and live in love.
See what it means to feel compassion.

Be my strength to tear away this blindness that makes us unable to see what is standing beside us.
I'll be your strength, follow my lead.
I will show you what it is to love, what it means to care, how to end this war.
For we are nothing without brotherhood, and brotherhood is nothing without your brothers.

Stand with me and see what my eyes have seen.
Take my hand and let me show you what it is to love.




The intent, I intend, the intentions of one will guide.
For you cannot love one, until you have learned to love all.

I mostly listen to Country music now days but I always will come back to WCAR when I need inspiration. Their lyrics have got me through so much in life.

@Reversoul

Very interesting juxtaposition lol. From metalcore to country music, that's quite the departure haha. I don't really care for country except for artists from the 80s like George Strait, Reba McEntire, etc. Anyway, just wanted to comment on the fact I think it's cool your tastes are varied. I'm the same way.
