Show Me What It Means

A repeated plea runs through this song — "show me what it means" — as the singer asks to be taught love and generosity rather than merely talking about them. The opening verses pair that request with an honest admission of fear and a willingness to let go: eyes opened to what frightens them, and a sacrifice made so that others might live. The chorus turns to a stark image of stripping away, where everything is removed except the love a person has given away, and on the final day that is the only thing counted as gain. A later verse pushes further, rejecting a life lived only for oneself and asking where selfishness must die, while noticing that hoarded things turn to dust. The bridge echoes 1 Corinthians 13 by asking whether speaking in tongues of angels meant anything without love, and whether love held up even in the darkest places. The song stays plain and repetitive, letting the question sink in rather than resolving it, and ends where it began — still asking to be shown.
