What is Matisyahu trying to say in Time of Your Song?

Answer 1

Well, to answer this questions, we need to look at the chorus. So, here are the lyrics: Moonlight illuminate my night and my days sunray make the people say

And a vision something's missing so they're screaming out loud

Keep my feet on ground and my head in the clouds.

I'm the arrow, you're my bow, shoot me forth and I will go

And I know and I go and I go get up and go

Make me feel its for real tell me what you know. It seems like he's talking about sun-worship (sunray) and that the people are wanting something more, but they can't find it in what they're doing (line 2). Also, it basically says that he's humble while he follows the Higher Being (Line 3). In line 4, it seems as though he's talking about following the Ten Commandments and doing what Elohim (God) tells him to do. Lines 5 and 6 are about his beliefs (they're real!). In short, the song is about what he believes compared to what the world believes.
