Waiting for the Sun
Embracing Resilience: Finding Purpose Beyond Struggle
Lyrics
The grass ain't greener on the other side
The perception that better opportunities are not elsewhere.
It's far too easy to run and hide
Escaping challenges is tempting but not the solution.
The truth it hurts and tomorrow will be
Facing the painful truth, and tomorrow holds similar challenges.
More of the same like yesterday
Expecting repetition of struggles like the previous day.
It's always worse when friends interfere
Interference from friends exacerbates difficulties.
Rumours and whispers don't disappear
Rumors and gossip persist and don't fade away.
Twenty-four hours turns the atmosphere
Passage of time affects the atmosphere.
Suddenly you discover you're a castaway
Suddenly finding oneself isolated and abandoned.
Stand up tall
Encouragement to stand tall in the face of adversity.
And show your pride
Displaying pride and self-respect.
Never turn your back
Never turning away from challenges.
Never, ever, ever run and hide
Emphasizing resilience and facing problems head-on.
Waiting for the sun to enlighten the sky
Awaiting a positive change in circumstances.
Yet another day try and survive
Enduring another day with the goal of survival.
Time consumes and brings goodbyes
Time passing brings inevitable farewells.
I need a reason for staying alive
Expressing a need for a purpose to continue living.
Take a deep breath and count to ten
Advising to take a moment and restart after challenges.
Face adversity and start again
Facing adversity again with self-belief despite pain.
Have self-belief and ignore the pain
Ignoring pain and seeking justice for wrongs.
Seek out the fools to name and shame
Identifying and exposing those behaving foolishly.
Too many people on the gravy train
Criticizing the abundance of opportunistic individuals.
Always cheating an insurance claim
Highlighting dishonesty, particularly with insurance claims.
Take a photograph and they're in the frame
Capturing evidence through a photograph.
Beat the playground bully at his own game
Overcoming a bully by outsmarting them.
Listen to the call
Encouraging to listen to a call for action.
And give your all
Urging to give one's all in the pursuit of goals.
And never give in
Emphasizing persistence and not giving up.
To the taste of sin you find your in
Resisting the allure of sinful behavior.
Waiting for the sun to enlighten the sky
Anticipating positive change, waiting for enlightenment.
Yet another day try and survive
Continuing to survive each day.
Time consumes and brings goodbyes
Acknowledging the impact of time and inevitable goodbyes.
I need a reason for staying alive
Expressing a need for a meaningful reason to stay alive.
