Harmonies of Hope: A Journey through Luminary Tales
Lyrics
Child you teller of the tale
Referring to someone as a storyteller.
That luminary sail
Describing a prominent or shining sail.
That sails the ocean
Referring to a sail navigating the ocean.
Though your soul is open
Despite an open soul, the eyes reflect hope.
Your eyes are hopeful
Expressing optimism through hopeful eyes.
And silent as the station of a soldier
Comparing silence to a soldier's station.
All these songs I know by heart are true
Acknowledging the truth in familiar songs.
The tunes you play will resonate
Belief in the resonance of played tunes.
Just like they used to do
Expecting familiar tunes to evoke the past.
And then the rhythm rises up
Describing the rising rhythm's impact.
Reminds me of those endless days of dreaming
Recalling days of endless dreaming.
Songs of ages carry on then dissipate
Acknowledging the continuity of ageless songs.
But surely leave their meaning
Assuring that songs leave a lasting meaning.
All these songs I know by heart are true
Reaffirming the truth in familiar songs.
The tunes you play will resonate
Expecting played tunes to resonate.
Just like they used to do
Anticipating a connection with the past.
And I sing
Expressing a personal involvement in singing.
One by one
Initiating a process of rising up one by one.
We're gonna rise up
Reinforcing the theme of collective ascent.
One by one
Continuation of the rising-up theme.
One by one
Repetition of the idea of progressing one by one.
One by one
Further emphasis on individual progression.
Like the petals falling down
Using petals falling down as a metaphor for progression.
We congregate around this eloquent passage
Gathering around a significant or expressive passage.
One by one we return
The return of individuals one by one.
Spring's unending rebirth
Symbolizing the continual renewal of spring.
Things we cannot see become the message
Unseen things becoming a meaningful message.
All these songs I know by heart are true
Reiterating the authenticity of familiar songs.
The tunes you play will resonate
Expectation of resonance from played tunes.
Just like they used to do
Reconnecting with the past through familiar tunes.
And I sing
Expressing personal involvement in singing again.
One by one
Reaffirming the process of rising up one by one.
One by one
Repetition of the idea of progressing one by one.
One by one
Further emphasis on individual progression.
One by one
Continuation of the rising-up theme.
We're gonna rise up
Emphasizing the collective ascent one by one.
One by one
Encouraging singing in unison.
Sing it
A call to sing the theme of rising up.
One by one
Reinforcing the idea of progressing collectively.
We're gonna rise up
Emphasizing the collective ascent one by one.
One by one
Repetition of the idea of progressing one by one.
One by one
Further emphasis on individual progression.
One by one
Continuation of the rising-up theme.
One by one
Emphasizing the collective ascent one by one.
One by one
Reiteration of the process of rising up.
One by one
Final repetition of the theme of progressing one by one.
