História Zoey Petterson EP - Track 01. My Life In Your Hands - 11 September 2015

[Verse 1]

Everyday I got down on my knees

Everyday looking around and it's the same

But I keep praying

I keep on praying

[Pre-chorus]

The times we facing aren't' becoming easy

People stopped fighting but still so busy

To believe in a salvation

So we still living in a repression

[Chorus]

So I sing to You

Oh Lord, show me more than blue

I'm singing to You

Please tell me what to do

I put my trust in You

Show me your view

Because I put my life in your hands

[Verse 2]

Everyday there's a mother crying

Everyday there's a father dying

And they don't care

As long as there's money to spend

[Pre- Chorus]

The times ahead of us won't became easy

Everyday people getting greedy and greedy

But I'm still on my knees

Praying so the world won't bleed

[Chorus]

And I'm still singing to you

Lord, tell me what to do

I want to see Your view

So I sing to You

Help me finding my way to your plan

In Your hands tall I stand

So I put my life in Your hands

[Bridges]

Guide me through the dark and could night

I trust You to lead me to Your light

You got my all

For You I don't mind being small

Shine harder than Pollia of marble

And we'll never walk in a shadow

[Chorus 3]

For that,I put my life in Your hands

For that, I trust in Your plan

For that, I trust the way You'll play my end

For that I'll bury myself in the sand

And I put my life in Your hands

 

Q: What is "My Life In Your Hands"?

ZP: "My Life In Your Hands" it's a very personal and strong song. It talks about my relationship with God and how I try my best to leave it all in His control.

Q: Why did you write this song?

ZP: I wrote this song because my family and I were passing through hard times. And I had just giving up on everything. I was out of hope, or trust in God. But there was one day that my mom said to me: "We're going to Punta Cana". At the time I wonder how did they get the money to make such an expensive trip, because we were 6. But it end it up being all revealed to me in that trip. I saw a different culture, where they had so less then we could ever imagine to have, but they were so happy, you know? They were genuinely happy with life and just for being alive. And there I realised that no matter how bad things are I should lose my hope and my trust in my God. Because some way he'll help me figure it out.

Q: What do you want to tell other people with this track?

ZP: I want other people to listen to this and think about their lives. I'm not here to convert anyone into christians or something like that, but I really hope that people can listen to this and not lose hope and...just...to keep believing in some positive change not only for them for everyone. No matter if you're a christian or a muslim, or buddhist. I just wish people keep dreaming and keep helping each other.

Q: Why did you chose this song to be the lead single of your EP?

ZP: Actually I wanted this song to be the lead single of my career. And in certain way it is, right?

I chose this song to be lead single of my EP, because this song marks my position and shows a part of me that I hope I won't miss over the years.
