Citizen Way - All My Eyes Lyrics
Lyrics
I’ve been lost in the shadows
In the valley of despair
In the middle of a battle
Where I’ve never been more scared
But I believe that you see my struggle
I believe that you know my pain
So when I’m tired
When I’m lost
When I’m broken
And when I’m afraid
I give all
All
I give all
my cares to You
I give all
All
I give all
my cares to You
I can walk in the freedom
Knowing You are strong enough
To take my burdens
Oh God I lift them up
I believe that You see my struggle
I believe that You know my pain
So when I’m tired
When I’m lost
When I’m broken
And when I’m afraid
There’s no fear no doubt in Your name
For You have promised You’ll make a way
When I’m lost
When I’m tired
I give all my cares
Broken and afraid
I give all my cares
I know You love me
I give all my cares
I give all my cares to You

Citizen Way - Story Behind The Song 'All My Cares'
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on May 5, 2016, "All My Cares" by Citizen Way is a powerful anthem of surrender and trust, born from a place of intense personal struggle. While the specifics of the "struggle" are not detailed, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of being overwhelmed by life's difficulties, experiencing despair, and feeling utterly vulnerable. This vulnerability is the fertile ground from which the song's core message of handing over one's burdens to a higher power emerges. The song functions as a direct address to God, a plea and an offering of complete reliance. The recurring declaration, "I give all my cares to You," is not merely a passive resignation but an active choice to relinquish the weight of anxieties and fears. It speaks to the profound relief found in acknowledging that one is not alone in their battles and that a strength greater than their own is available. This act of surrendering is rooted in the belief, articulated in the song, that God sees the struggle and knows the pain. This perspective aligns deeply with scriptural truths. For instance, the prophet Isaiah declared, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). The song’s assertion that there is “no fear no doubt in Your name” echoes the confidence found in the Psalms, where David often proclaims God as his refuge and strength. When the lyrics state, "For You have promised You’ll make a way," it directly mirrors passages like Joshua 1:9, which assures, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." The essence of "All My Cares" is a profound affirmation of faith, a testament to the liberating power of recognizing God's sufficiency in times of weakness and despair. It's an invitation for anyone feeling lost, tired, broken, or afraid to find solace and freedom by entrusting their deepest worries into divine hands, a message that resonates with the core of Christian hope and the promise of peace that surpasses all understanding.
