Song Meaning

Hannah Kerr names the exact habit she's trying to break — filling silence "with these distractions" instead of sitting still long enough to hear anything. "There's just so much that I don't understand," she admits, frustrated that a "simple answer" keeps refusing to show up no matter how hard she looks for it herself.

Her fix isn't more searching; it's less talking. "What if I traded my own words to rest in yours," she asks, choosing quiet over the noise she'd normally fill it with. The bridge raises the stakes on that trade: "your truth is louder than a million words, even your silence shakes the earth."

That echoes God's instruction in Psalm 46:10 to "be still and know that I am God," and Elijah's encounter in 1 Kings 19:12, where God speaks not through wind or fire but a "still small voice." Kerr's closing line makes the same discovery — the answer was never something she had to produce herself: "you have the answers, yeah, you are the answer."

[Verse 1]

There’s just so much that I don’t understand

It’s complicated

Wanna find a simple answer, but I can’t

I’m so frustrated


[Verse 2]

Maybe I’ll find what I’m looking for

If I just stop talking and I listen more


[Chorus]

Maybe I’d hear You if I dared to

Listen more

What if I traded my own words

To rest in Yours

I wanna hear Your voice

Wanna hear You, wanna hear You

Louder than the noise

So I’ll dare to listen more


[Verse 3]

Why do I keep trying to fill up the space

With these distractions?

I know that I can meet You face to face

If I’m just silent


[Chorus]

Maybe I’d hear You if I dared to

Listen more

What if I traded my own words

To rest in Yours

I wanna hear Your voice

Wanna hear You, wanna hear You

Louder than the noise


[Verse 4]

Your truth is louder than a million words

Even Your silence shakes the earth

You have the power

I will surrender


[Verse 5]

I know I’ll find what I’m looking for

If I just stop talking and I listen more

‘Cause You have the answers

Yeah, You are the answer


[Chorus]

Maybe I’d hear You if I dared to

Listen more

What if I traded my own words

To rest in Yours

I wanna hear Your voice


[Chorus]

‘Cause I know I’ll hear You if I dared to

Listen more

I’m gonna trade in my own words

To rest in Yours

I wanna hear Your Voice

Wanna hear You, wanna hear You

Louder than the noise

So I’ll dare to listen more
