Nevertheless

O Child by Nevertheless, and my interpretation of it's lyrics.

"I want to come closer

But you are so distant
Lately your thoughts are so far
I want to show you all that you're missing
I'll meet you right where you are"

They stand Distanced Far apart
She reaches, half-heartedly, then resigns, unable, and
Looks away,ashamed She glances back up to find
That He has come to her He has covered the distance


“O love, I’ve always known you and
O love, you’ve always been mine
O love, I’m only asking you for your life”

"You say that you need me
I know what you're feeling
You cannot do this alone
I gave you my word and I gave you my life
So you'll never be on your own"

She takes His hand They walk together
She is contented in His presence
She is reassured
She is safe

“O love, I’ve always known you and
O love, you’ve always been mine
O love, I’m only asking you for your life”

"You're waiting for this life to be what you want
(Is this what you wanted)
Waiting for this life to be what you need
(Is this what you needed)
You're waiting for this life to be what you want
(Is this what you wanted)
Waiting for this life to be what you need
(Is this what you needed)
You're waiting for this life to be what you want
(Is this what you wanted)
Waiting for this life to be what you need
(Is this what you needed)
You're waiting for this life to be what you wanted
(Is this what you wanted)"

She hesitates as the ground falls away before her
He is standing on air, beckoning for her to trust
To follow Him
She cannot
She struggles within herself for answers
For resolve
Ever conscious of His call to her

“O love, I’ve always known you and
O love, you’ve always been mine
O love, I’m only asking you for your life

O love, I’ve always known you and
O love, you’ve always been mine
O child, I’m only asking you for your life”

Finally she reaches for Him, her mind made
She takes a deep breath
Closes her eyes
Clasps His hand
And takes her first step…
