I Won't Be Here
Journey Beyond: A Song of Love and Resilience
Lyrics
Oh, mama mama mama, I went looking for
Expressing a longing or search for something.
A better place far down the road
Seeking a distant and improved place in the future.
A place that can give hope back to our lives
Desiring a place that can restore hope to life.
Already feels like it's a thousand days
Feeling as though a considerable amount of time has passed.
Hours dragging in a haze
Experiencing time slowly and hazily.
But I left a tiny part of me behind
Leaving a part of oneself behind while moving forward.
For all the time that I won't be here
Committing to being absent for a period of time.
It's gonna keep you safe from fear
Assuring that absence will protect from fear.
For all the time that I can't be around
Acknowledging inability to be present.
Oh mama waking in the lonely night
Describing a lonely night, possibly indicating separation.
Not a friendly face in sight
Highlighting the absence of familiar faces.
And I'm surrounded only by my thoughts
Being surrounded by one's thoughts in solitude.
But I know that I must keep on going
Recognizing the need to continue despite challenges.
Don't care how fast the wind is blowing
Indifferent to the challenges ahead, focused on progress.
I've got your love to get me through the storm
Drawing strength from the love of someone important.
For all the time that I won't be here
Reiterating commitment to absence for a specific time.
It's gonna keep you safe from fear
Reassuring that absence will provide safety from fear.
For all the time that I can't be around
Acknowledging the limitation of being physically absent.
I'll be missing
Expressing the anticipation of being missed.
All the time that I
Repeating the idea of being missed over time.
I'll be missing
Continuing to emphasize the expectation of being missed.
All the time that I
Reiterating the theme of being missed during absence.
I'll be missing
Emphasizing the ongoing sense of being missed.
All the time that I
Continuing to stress the feeling of being missed.
Can't be here
Stating the inability to be physically present.
For all the time that I won't be here
Reaffirming commitment to absence and its purpose.
It's gonna keep you same from fear
Reassuring that absence will shield from fear.
For all the time that I won't be around
Acknowledging the unavailability during a specific time.
For all the time that I won't be here
Repeating the commitment to being absent for a period.
It's gonna keep away the tears
Asserting that absence will prevent tears.
For all the time that I can't be around
Acknowledging the challenge of being physically unavailable.
I'll be missing
Reiterating the expectation of being missed.
All the time
Stressing the continuous nature of being missed.
That I won't be here
Concluding the theme of anticipated absence.
