Oceans

Daniela Araújo's song 'Oceans' is a profound exploration of faith, trust, and spiritual guidance. The lyrics draw heavily on the biblical story of Peter walking on water, a powerful metaphor for stepping out in faith despite fear and uncertainty. The opening lines, 'Tu me chamas para andar / Sobre as águas com minha fé,' set the tone for a journey that requires deep trust in a higher power. The singer acknowledges her own limitations, 'Pois os meus pés podem falhar,' but finds solace in the divine gaze that guides her.

The recurring theme of fear and overcoming it is central to the song. The lines 'Se a tempestade me assustar / E o medo me quiser afundar' vividly depict the internal and external storms that can shake one's faith. However, the act of calling out to God, 'Então eu irei clamar a Ti em alta voz,' signifies a surrender and a plea for divine intervention. This relationship is beautifully encapsulated in the refrain, 'Pois eu sou Teu e Tu és meu,' emphasizing a mutual belonging and trust between the believer and the divine.

The song also delves into the concept of grace, described as 'Infinita é Tua graça / Como oceano, não tem fim.' This imagery of an endless ocean of grace reinforces the idea of boundless divine support and love. The plea for the Spirit to guide 'além dos meus limites' and 'sobre as águas' signifies a desire to transcend personal limitations and to be led into deeper spiritual realms. The song is a heartfelt prayer for strength, guidance, and unwavering faith in the face of life's inevitable challenges.
