Where the Trees Stand Still
Discovering Home in Stillness: Bebo Norman's Musical Journey
Lyrics
Everyone it seems
People, in general, are searching for something better.
Is looking for the grass that's greener here
Desire for a more fulfilling or prosperous situation.
And through my window pane
Observing the passing scenery through a window.
The scenery flies by and disappears
The passing moments disappear quickly.
So tell to me the secret
Asking for a secret to preserve memories.
That won't let the memories fade away
Desire for a lasting memory that won't fade.
Until I am home again, where the trees stand still
Longing for home, a place where time stands still, symbolized by "trees stand still."
Yesterday it seems
Reflecting on the past, feeling nostalgic.
I traveled in a younger man's clothes
Recalling a time when the speaker was younger.
Living out this dream
Living out a dream but uncertain and unstable.
And wandering through fields of touch and go
Wandering through uncertain situations.
Moving on forever
Continuing forward, despite challenges.
Watching the distance fade away
Wanting to settle down and find stability.
But now I just want to land, where the trees stand still
Desire to find a place of tranquility and stability, represented by "where the trees stand still."
All this time
Reflection on the passage of time.
On this line
Emphasizing the journey and experiences along the way.
Here then I am gone
The transient nature of life, here and then gone.
Tonight I want a life
Desire for a stable and consistent life.
Where the faces are the same most every day
Yearning for familiarity and routine.
Tonight I want a wife
Expressing a desire for a committed relationship.
To sit with me and watch our children play
Imagining a future with a family, watching children grow.
All the world between us
Despite distance, wanting to bridge the gap with a loved one.
Watching the years fade away
Watching time pass but wanting a stable foundation.
And when the laughing's done, we'll watch the trees stand still
After the challenges and laughter, seeking stability symbolized by "trees stand still."
Everyday, where the trees stand still
Every day, finding a home in a stable and unchanging environment.
We will make a home, where the trees stand still
Commitment to building a lasting home and family.
