Grace
Wildwood Kin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but this time I won't turn away,
Wherever I'll be it's your grace that's taking me,
down by the water side,
my soul it never will run dry,
I found a source a sweeter spring.
Though it'll still take time for me,
It's worth the wait to be free.
I just remember faith is all I need,
To pick up all the pieces when I think there's no escaping,
Finding an inner peace,
Can only lead to letting go of things,
That will always keep me stumbling.
Though it'll still take time for me,
It's worth the wait to be free.
Finally I have recognised,
It can't be earned it's paid in full price,
Now I can move on to greater things,
It's time to set aside,
some of the things that I've known all my life that are bound to make me incomplete.
Though it'll still take time for me,
It's worth the wait to be free.
The song "Grace" by Wildwood Kin is a reflective piece about the importance of faith and inner peace as a source of strength during turbulent times. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been called upon, perhaps by a higher power, and is ready to face whatever challenges may come their way with the aid of grace. The water imagery invoked in the second and third lines suggests a sense of cleansing, renewal, and rejuvenation, as if the singer has found a new source of energy and inspiration.
The next section of the song focuses on the idea that faith is all one needs to navigate through difficult times without giving up hope. Rather than succumbing to "tribulation" or hardship, the singer suggests that it is possible to pick up the pieces and find inner peace to move forward. This requires letting go of things that hold one back--whether they be emotional or physical--and embracing a sense of completeness.
The final section of the song reinforces the idea that grace cannot be earned but is a gift that must be accepted. This realization allows the singer to move forward towards greater things with a sense of freedom--freedom from fear, doubt, and insecurity. Though the journey towards inner peace may take time, the singer suggests that it is worth the wait to break free from the limitations that hold us back.
