The Irons
Heard It Through the Great Divine
[Verse 1: Gilbert Green]
Well everyday
I go outside to show my face
I want the sunshine to take my place
But me-oh-my what a struggle I make
Go back inside then I do it again and feel the day begin
That’s how I take it all in

[Chorus]
Oh, great divine
You know I struggle to hold the line
And all ask is you ease my mind
Or give me comfort and show me a sign
‘Cause I’ve been searchin’ with dilated eyes and crying all the time
Feels like I’m losin’ my mind

[Refrain]
Reality, I try to keep it all away from me
And that’s unhealthy and it’s not what I need
I need a sunny sky and the trees of green
To keep me grounded whеn I’m pushed by the wind
Or feel it from within
That’s how I take it all in

[Man in the Gas Station & Gilbert]
You look likе that little kid played on uh buh- bunn-
Um on, um, I’m talkin’ ‘bout uh
He look like that little kid that played on the Andy Griffith show
Opie?
Opie! "Opie, come in the house! Mommy I’m out here playin’ with my cricket out here"
[Narrator]
Ah yes, how poetic and bittersweet if you ask me. Gilbert seems to begin expressing sentiments towards soaking in all that life has to offer. The sunshine and the hard times, and even the small things like being confused for Opie Taylor from the Andy Griffith show by the man in the gas station. But his next realization may just be his biggest insight yet. Let’s tune back in to see what’s on Gilbert’s mind
