That's All
Navigating Life's Seas: Anders Osborne's Reflection on Change and Purpose
Lyrics
Everything is changing, too fast
Expressing a sense of overwhelming and rapid change in life.
Live for the moment, tryin' to make it last
Embracing the present moment while striving to prolong its significance.
Day by day, step after step, that's all
Encouraging a steady progression in life, taking it one day and step at a time.
Everybody's asking where I've been
Facing inquiries about one's whereabouts, possibly indicating a period of absence or change.
What did you bring back, tell us everything
Responding to questions by sharing experiences and details about what has been brought back.
Right and wrong, night and day, that's all
Acknowledging the dualities in life, encompassing right and wrong, night and day.
Take your time, from the ground up
Advising to take time and build one's life gradually from the foundation.
From the ground up, that's all
Reiterating the importance of building and progressing step by step from the ground up.
My grandpa, the Captain, sailed the seven seas
Introducing the speaker's grandfather, a Captain who sailed the seas, implying wisdom from life experiences.
He says life's an ocean, simple and deep
Quoting the grandfather's perspective that life is like an ocean—simple and deep.
Don't be afraid, you do what you can, that's all
Encouraging not to fear and to do what one can in life.
Life is here, life is now, that's all
Affirming the transient nature of life, emphasizing the importance of the present.
Trying to do a good thing, nobody knows
Expressing the challenge of trying to do good without clear understanding or recognition.
Why our feelings can hurt us so
Reflecting on the mysterious and sometimes painful nature of human emotions.
Piece by piece, beat after beat, that's all
Highlighting life as a process, advancing piece by piece and beat by beat.
Take your time, build from the ground up, that's all
Reiterating the advice to take time and build one's life from the foundation.
From the ground up, that's all
Concluding with a repetition of the central theme, emphasizing the foundational aspect of life.
