Welcome the Night
Embracing the Night: A Poetic Journey of Growing Up
Lyrics
When we were young
Reflecting on the past when they were young
In the bunk above
Reference to a shared sleeping space
You slept every night
Describing nightly routines from the past
In the darkness
Symbolizing a challenging or difficult period
To watch over me
Expressing care and protection
Now that we have grown
Acknowledging adulthood and independence
When I'm all alone
Feeling a sense of loneliness in the present
You're in this new darkness
Facing a new, possibly challenging phase in life
And still are so comforting
Finding comfort in familiar aspects despite change
Our day
Highlighting a shared history or experience
Our day is done
Recognizing the end of a particular period
Though we did laugh and
Recalling joyful moments and activities
Play in the sun
Emphasizing past laughter and playfulness
Boy did we have some fun
Nostalgia for enjoyable experiences in the past
But now it's only right to
Accepting the transition into a new phase of life
Welcome the night
Embracing the idea of welcoming the night symbolically
These years have passed
Reflecting on the passage of time
How they went so fast
Noting the speed at which time has passed
We saw colors so bright that
Recalling vivid and lasting memories
We'll never get out of our minds
Highlighting the enduring impact of certain experiences
Now the future calls
Anticipating the future with optimism
Sure we'll have a ball
Expecting enjoyable moments in the future
There'll be colors more subtle
Describing more nuanced and complex experiences ahead
And more difficult to define
Acknowledging challenges that are harder to define
Our day, our day is done
Reiterating the conclusion of a specific period
Though we did laugh and
Revisiting joyful moments from the past
Play in the sun
Recalling laughter and playfulness in the sun
Boy did we have some fun
Nostalgia for the enjoyment of past experiences
But now it's only right to
Expressing the appropriateness of embracing the night
Welcome the night
Reiterating the symbolic acceptance of a new phase
Our day, our day is done
Affirming the completion of a particular time frame
Though we did laugh and
Recalling moments of joy and play in the past
Play in the sun
Highlighting laughter and playfulness in the sun
Boy did we have some fun
Nostalgia for the fun experienced in the past
But now it's only right to
Emphasizing the appropriateness of transitioning to the night
Welcome the night
Symbolically embracing a new phase in life
