Every question we have about life begins with one limitation: we see the world through human eyes instead of through the prism of Hashem. The Navi promises that a day is coming when His presence will be so clear that faith will no longer require effort, and every doubt, every pain, and every mystery will find its place. This song is about that moment, when "מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ דֵּעָה אֶת הַשֵּׁם כַּמַּיִם לַיָּם מְכַסִּים," and there are no more questions because there is only clarity.
There's a world that's confused, that doesn't know what to look at, calling darkness a great light, and calling light a dream. Black is called white, white is called black, and we're waiting for the gate of light to open.
And then we'll see what we never saw, and then we'll know we were never alone.
For the earth will be filled with knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea. For the earth will be filled with knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea.
Two thousand years we walked with tears in prayer. We asked why, and until when, and the heart found no words. So many nights we passed through, so many roads without light — but inside every tear there was great mercy.
And then we'll see what we never saw, and then we'll give thanks for the whole road together.
For the earth will be filled with knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea. For the earth will be filled with knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea.
And the sea of tears we thought had come to drown us will reveal itself as a sea of mercy that came to bring us back to life. And everything that was hidden will become clear and good, and we'll stand full of gratitude, because God was near.
For every tear, for every prayer, for every night that seemed so long, for the whole road, for all the kindness, for the mercy we didn't know how to see.
For the earth will be filled with knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea. For the earth will be filled with knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea.
As the waters cover the sea, for the earth will be filled with knowledge of God.
