Conclusions
Song Meaning
Morning gratitude starts the song: "everyday I wake up, life's brand new," sung after a stretch when "gray clouds took away the blue." Maverick City Music trade lines with Kirk Franklin, who sharpens the mood with a question, "So why you still not free?", and the claim that "worship is the prisoner's key."
The hook is a warning against rash verdicts. "Don't be jumpin' to conclusions" about "God can't fix it, God won't do it," because "this fight is only for a season." Permission to grieve sits inside the same line ("So cry"), followed by the reminder that "this moment won't define your life." A later verse thanks Jesus for another day, vows to "protect my peace," and compares faith to "a mustard seed" where "a little's all you need."
Near the end Franklin adds a plea to "Stay" and not let others' lies push anyone away, then promises that change is coming. The themes match Lamentations 3:22-23 on mercies renewed each morning, Psalm 30:5 on weeping that lasts only a night, and Matthew 17:20 on small faith.
[Maverick City Music:]
Ooh, everyday I wake up, life's brand new
After everything my heart's been through
When the gray clouds took away the blue
You always know just what to do
My Father's so faithful, so true
As long as I'm still loved by You
How can I lose?
[Maverick City Music, (Kirk Franklin):]
Singin' ooh, today's a beautiful melody (Thank You)
Each blessing in perfect harmony
You're listening to the sound of everything
Minding my fear that I'm free
See, you don't have to feel it to believe
Worship is the prisoner's key
So why you still not free?
Why you still not free?
See, I-I-I-I-I may lose my way (Sometimes I get lost)
But I-I-I-I-I learn from yesterday (More)
Don't be jumpin' to conclusions
"God can't fix it, God won't do it," real ones
They know this fight is only for a season
So cry, just know this moment won't define your life
Don't be jumpin' to conclusions (Turn it up)
"God can't fix it, God won't do it," real ones (Come on)
They know this fight is only for a season
So cry (So cry), just know this moment won't define your life
La-la-la-la-la
(Heh, you made me say)
Ooh, thank You, Jesus for another day
Rainbows remind me we gon' be okay (Yes, sir)
Ignorin' what detractors have to say
See, I must protect my peace (Hallelujah)
Focus now on what You have for me
'Cause faith is like a mustard seed (Yes)
A little's all you need
(But the truth is) See, I-I-I-I-I-I may lose my way (Sometimes I get lost, but)
But I-I-I-I-I learn from yesterday (I learn)
Don't be jumpin' to conclusions (Don't now)
"God can't fix it, God won't do it," real ones (I see you)
They know this fight is only for a season
So cry (It's temporary), just know this moment won't define your life
Don't be jumpin' to conclusions (Tell 'em 'bout it)
"God can't fix it, God won't do it," real ones (Yes, sir)
They know this fight is only for a season
So cry (Cry now), just know this moment won't define your life (Uh)
La-la-la-la-la
(God is asking you to) Stay
(Please) Stay
Don't let their lies push you away
You're too close now, leave your mistakes
Please stay
(You're Father's asking you to) Stay (Woo!)
Don't let their lies push you away
You're too close now, leave your mistakes
(Your change is coming, but until then)
Don't be jumpin' to conclusions (Talkin' about)
"God can't fix it, God won't do it," real ones (You know who you are)
They know this fight is only for a season
So cry (Cry now), just know this moment won't define your life (Come on!)
Don't be jumpin' to conclusions (Woo!)
"God can't fix it, God won't do it," real ones (Real ones, stand up)
They know this fight is only for a season (Just for a moment)
So cry (So cry), just know this moment won't define your life (Yes)
La-la-la-la-la
