One Word Song
Randy Travis's song "One Word Song" is a gentle country ballad that uses the metaphor of singing a single name to express reliance on God during lonely, weak, or lost moments. The lyrics convey that calling on this name brings comfort, strength, and a sense of belonging, like a healing melody. The song emphasizes trust and the restorative power of faith, suggesting that even in times of trouble, simply invoking God's name can guide one back to peace. It is a simple yet profound reflection on the sustaining nature of faith and the personal connection to the divine.
When I'm feelin' lonely
And I'm far away from home
I just sing out your name
Like a one word song.
In a moment of weakness
When I need to be strong
I just sing out your name
Like a one word song.
And the thought of you
Brings a soulful melody
And passion and trust
And a healing harmony.
And when I lose my way
I get back where I belong
When I sing out your name
Like a one word song.
[Instrumental]
And the thought of you
Brings a soulful melody
And passion and trust
And a healing harmony.
And when I lose my way
I get back where I belong
When I sing out your name
Like a one word song.
Yeah, I sing out your name
Like a one word song...
