Summer
Embracing Renewal: Benjamin Francis Leftwich's Summer Anthem
Lyrics
It started with a beating of a frozen winter heart
Describes the beginning of a change or transformation from a cold and emotionless state.
It started with a feeling, I can make a brand new start
Expresses the desire for a fresh start and a new beginning.
Gonna go out, gonna shake off all the demons of the day
Plans to confront and overcome the troubles or negative aspects of the day.
Gonna sing out, gonna stay out 'cause the rain has gone away
Intends to rejoice and remain outside since the rain, symbolizing difficulties, has passed.
It's been a long, hard year
Reflects on a challenging and arduous period of time.
I've been waiting for the summer to come
Anticipation for the arrival of the summer season, representing hope and positivity.
So I wait here
Currently staying in the present moment, awaiting change.
Waiting for the light of the sun
Expecting the warmth and brightness associated with the sun's light.
I've been waiting for the summer to come
Reiterates the longing for the arrival of summer.
I parted from the feeling, I was never gonna change
Acceptance of a past state, feeling resistant to change.
And I started to believe in the hope of better days
Starts to believe in the possibility of better times ahead.
Then the wind changed in the garden
Change in the atmosphere or circumstances is noticed.
And the darkness went away
Darkness or negativity dissipates or fades away.
I could hear you saying, "Don't you be afraid"
Reassurance or encouragement not to fear the changing circumstances.
It's been a long, hard year
Reflection on the enduring difficulty experienced throughout the year.
I've been waiting for the summer to come
Continued hope for the arrival of summer.
So I wait here
Remaining in the present moment while waiting for change.
Waiting for the light of the sun
Awaitance for the brightness and warmth the sun brings.
I've been waiting for the summer to come
Reiteration of the longing for the arrival of summer.
It's been a long, hard year
Recapitulation of enduring hardship throughout the year.
I've been waiting for the summer to come
Continued hopeful anticipation for summer.
So I wait here
Patiently staying in the present while awaiting change.
Waiting for the light of the sun
Waiting for the arrival of the sun's light and positivity.
It's been hard year
Recognition of the challenges faced during the year.
I've been waiting for the light of the sune
Reiteration of the longing for the positive influence of the sun's light.
I've been waiting for the summer to come
Reiteration of the desire and hope for the arrival of summer.
