This song portrays the need of someone in times of need, using the references to God and the afterlife as a metaphor to a universal struggle people share as their “due part” in life, meaning everyone has to struggle but they can’t do it alone.
[Verse 1]
You never know the weight of your crimes
But when all the gates have closed and you're tired
You stand a while by the fire and it burns bright
A while, a while; you sit quiet
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Inside, you're so warm
Your eyes open up
To the sunrise, to the sunrise
Far from here
[Verse 2]
I never know the state that you're in
Oh, it's obvious to climb in your skin
But I know I will walk across
When inside, inside, it feels right
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Inside, you're so warm
Your eyes open up
To the sunrise, to the sunrise
[Chorus]
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
'Cause I want you to know that I don't
[Outro]
(God made Man and his reason)
'Cause I want you to know that I don't (God made Man and his reason)
'Cause I want you to know that I don't (God made Man and his reason)
'Cause I want you to know that I don't (God made Man and his reason)
And I want you to know...
