What Tomorrow Knows
Whispers in the Wind: A Journey through the Mystical Lyrics of Benny Clough's 'What Tomorrow Knows'
Lyrics
The woods are growing wild with a whisper on the wind
The natural surroundings are becoming untamed, carrying a secret message in the air.
The river knows the answer to the question that's within
The river holds the solution to an internal question.
It'll be another cold night in purple moonlight to be sure
Anticipation of another chilly night under a purple moon, emphasizing certainty.
My heart's a guided fortress but my mind's an open door
The heart is protected like a fortress, but the mind is open and vulnerable.
Carrying this torch through a cavern to the end
Navigating challenges, symbolized by carrying a torch through a dark cavern.
Fearing that an endless storm is starting to descend
Fearing the onset of a persistent and overwhelming difficulty.
Where the flowers and their splendor are in bloom
Describing a beautiful scene with blooming flowers.
And the abbey stands in ancient runes
An ancient abbey stands, marked with mysterious symbols.
And through it all I'm staying strong
Expressing resilience and strength throughout the challenges.
To fight my battles and right my wrongs
Commitment to facing personal battles and correcting mistakes.
To bear these heavy burdens and walk the lonely roads
Enduring heavy burdens and walking solitary paths.
Of what tomorrow knows
Reference to facing the unknown future, encapsulated in "what tomorrow knows."
The faded realm is misty and the mountain looks too steep
Describing a misty and challenging environment with a steep mountain.
The soundtrack of my whole life just keeps playing on repeat
Life experiences and memories replaying continuously.
Contemplating all that's come to pass and been redeemed
Reflecting on past events and finding redemption.
Encompassed by these castle walls inside a lucid dream
Feeling enclosed within castle walls inside a vivid dream.
I'm tired of this weight that I have carried all these years
Expressing weariness from carrying a burden for many years.
And now I have to lay it down in spite of all my fears
Despite fears, it's time to let go of the weight.
I fold my hands, I bow my head and offer up my prayer
Engaging in a moment of prayer, humility, and surrender.
While the piper plays so freely on the air
Listening to a piper playing music freely in the air during prayer.
I wonder as I wander through these hills of emerald green
Reflecting and wandering through a green landscape.
A dweller in the hollow of this otherworldly scene
Being a resident within a magical and otherworldly setting.
A world of difference there in the reflection that I see
Noticing a significant change in self-reflection within this magical world.
With the person who I was no longer staring back at me
A transformation where the past self is no longer recognizable.
Only God knows who I am and where I am to go
Recognition that only God knows one's true identity and destiny.
By His grace alone I will prevail until I know
Relying on divine grace to overcome challenges until clarity is achieved.
My soul's ablaze with courage fueled by all that I aspire
Feeling a passionate and courageous inner fire driving aspirations.
As I sing the last refrain in this aria of fire
Singing the final part of a song, symbolizing the culmination of experiences.
And through it all I'm staying strong
Reiteration of strength and resilience through difficulties.
To fight my battles and right my wrongs
Continuing the fight against personal challenges and making amends.
To bear these heavy burdens and walk the lonely roads
Enduring heavy burdens and persisting on solitary paths.
Of what tomorrow knows
Reiterating the theme of facing the uncertainties of the future.
