Lirik Touching God (Feat. Yebba & Blood Orange)

youtube.com/DanielCaesar

I know you're sick and tired of words
Floating 'round the universe in spite
Of all the time and all the work
You put in, I know it hurts, and I
I've seen you lose your ground to lowly skies
Fell too fast, can't get the chance to cry
Who will you ever be without their eyes?
What good's your voice if no one really minds?
Settle down till the moment comes around
There's a plan you won't understand for now
I was going so crazy, couldn't run
I know there's a God that's withholding His help
I know You made me but I hate myself
And I know, when I know that it's buried somewhere else
And I know that I'll find my moment
'Cause what good's your voice if no one really minds?
When I was a child, I spoke like a child
When I was a child, I became a man
When I was a child, thought like a child
Oh, Lord
Thy kingdom come
Yes, you're an awesome God
Thy will be done
Oh, Lord
The battle is won
On Earth and Heaven
Praised be the Son

Makna Lagu 'Touching God'

Lagu ini bercerita tentang seseorang yang merasa lelah secara emosional dan kehilangan kepercayaan diri karena merasa suaranya tak pernah benar-benar didengar. Ia bergulat dengan perasaan gagal, kebencian terhadap diri sendiri, dan keyakinan bahwa Tuhan seperti menahan pertolongan yang ia butuhkan. Namun di balik keputusasaan itu, ada secercah keyakinan bahwa suatu saat ia akan menemukan “moment”-nya sendiri.

Bagian akhir lagu menggambarkan proses pendewasaan, meninggalkan cara berpikir masa kecil dan menerima kenyataan hidup yang lebih berat. Ada nuansa pasrah dan spiritual, seolah ia menyadari bahwa meski ia tidak mengerti rencana yang terjadi padanya, ia mencoba percaya bahwa semuanya akan bermuara pada kemenangan dan pemulihan melalui Tuhan.
