First it helps to know that Magdalena is about his mother, a deeply religious woman who suffered a stroke that left her near helpless. Despite this, she remained faithful. He was angered by the idea that God allowed her to be struck down like that and it showed in the song, as he rejected her faith completely. I think this song is his own, as he tries to reconnect with God, wanting to accept and understand and both forgive and be forgiven his doubt.
Thomas
Lyrics
Humble and helpless
Learning to pray
Praying for visions
To show me the way
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Illuminate me
Illuminate me
Illuminate me
I'm just praying for you to show me
Where I'm to begin
Hoping to
Hoping to reconnect to you
Hoping to reconnect to you
Reconnect to you
