Sarah Reeves' song 'Motions' explores the struggle of feeling spiritually numb and going through the motions of life without genuine emotion. The lyrics depict a person who has been suppressing pain and lies, but is now awakening to a spiritual reality. There is a sense of fighting inner demons and a desire for change, as expressed in the line about believing in miracles. The song touches on themes of spiritual awakening, honesty, and the need for God's intervention in a season of dryness.

Verse 1:

One foot out one in the grave 

All the petals on the roses fade 

Been a while since I felt the pain 

But I?m feeing it now 


I?m my own worst enemy 

Broken mirror looking at me 

All the lies that I couldn?t see I?m seeing them now 


Something spiritual is speaking through the silence 

The ghost is waking up I feel it rising 

Got my hands around my demons till their lifeless 

That part of me is dying 


Chorus:

I keep going through the motions going through the motions going through the motions 

Good at keeping my composure heavy on my shoulders want it to be over 

Pop this bottle of emotion just so I can close it throw it in the ocean  

I keep going through the motions going through the motions going through the motions 


Verse 2:

Higher than a Jericho 

Looks like I got nowhere else to go 

But I still believe in miracles and I need one now
