Interpretation
The song lyrics "God, Your Children" by
The Kelly Family is about the search for God's love and grace, especially for those who feel rejected by society. The band asks if God also loves people like them, the "gypsies". They feel alienated and despised, but they recognize in God's eyes that he too was once an outcast.
God's children ask for God's grace in this song and for him to give them strength to understand the world. They long to see God and experience his love. They realize that they ask for nothing for themselves, but for all those who are even poorer and more despised than themselves.
The question is also raised whether God's blessing applies to all people and who should bear the difficult conditions of this world. God's children only know anger and sometimes they wish they were never born. But despite their fatigue and despair, they do not give up and hope that God has not forgotten them.
Overall, the song lyrics express the band members' longing for God's love and grace, and their hope that God does not reject them, but holds them close. It is a plea to God to listen to the children and recognize their needs.
