Embracing Life's Currents: Alfred Jasper's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
As smooth as the river flows
Smoothness likened to the flow of a river
It crushes it cuts the hardest stones
Life's challenges are powerful enough to shape even the toughest individuals
You're tougher than life you just don't know
Despite inner strength, unaware of personal resilience
Smile freely breathe deeply
Encouragement to express joy and take deep breaths
Have faith in love completely
Belief in love as a steadfast force
Hardships we face when loved ones go
Difficulties faced when losing loved ones
The feeling we hide we need to show
The need to reveal emotions usually concealed
Its beneath me, it's beneath me
Dismissing something as beneath one's dignity or consideration
I know life ain't easy it is often unfair
Recognition of life's unfairness and difficulty
When you feel so broken only love can repair
Love's healing power in times of emotional distress
Be fine be fair love life
Encouragement to lead a positive and just life filled with love
Repair
Act of fixing or restoring
Be fine be fair love life
Encouragement to lead a positive and just life filled with love (repeated)
Repair
Act of fixing or restoring (repeated)
Find the values we'll live by
Finding moral principles guiding future actions
For our goals ahead there must be a reason
Recognition of the necessity of reasons driving future goals
Why we're changing again
The question of why change is occurring again
And Pain is a feeling
Pain as an emotion that creates vivid internal experiences
That paints us pictures within
The imagery evoked by pain
Having faith that rebuilds us
Belief in faith's power to reconstruct
Having friends who care
Importance of supportive friendships
I know life ain't easy, it is often unfair
Recognition of life's unfairness and difficulty (repeated)
As our life goes on us
Life progressing despite challenges
Know that love can repair be fine be fair
Love's ability to mend, emphasizing the need for fairness and positivity
Love life repair
Encouragement to embrace love for life's restoration
Be fine be fair love life
Act of fixing or restoring (repeated)
Repair
