You

Gungor's 'You' traces a life of faith through shifting images of the divine, beginning with infancy's pure dependence: breath, warmth, food, and light all bound up in a maternal presence. The second verse turns to a childhood conversion, where a painted figure on a wall—seventeen inches tall, smiling—becomes the focus of prayers for grace, speaking in tongues, and being born again at ten. That certainty fractures in the third movement: the wall now bears writing, the figure is merely a man, and the singer concludes there is no God above and no perfect saving love, only the self. The collapse is stark, but the song doesn't end there. A later verse describes a world torn apart and then a felt ground and heart, a sense of the universe as one 'just like a Father, Spirit, Son,' reopening the heart to a distant, forlorn friend. The closing refrain widens the address to 'Jesus, Teacher, Brahman Light, Son of God and Source of Life,' holding doubt and devotion together. The repeated 'it's always only ever been you' becomes less a doctrinal claim than a confession of longing that survives disappointment.
