Death of Robin Hood
Reflecting on Legacy: Death of Robin Hood
Lyrics
I remember
I have recollections of the past.
Like it was yesterday
The memories are vivid and feel recent.
I couldn’t help but smile
Reflecting on those memories brings a smile.
We were running
We were engaged in an activity.
Down the old stone path
Describing the setting of the activity on a stone path.
We must’ve gone a mile
We covered a considerable distance.
Little John could you help me stand
Seeking assistance from Little John to stand up.
I’m getting old and weak
Expressing physical weakness due to aging.
It is calling
A reference to the town of Nottingham.
The town of Nottingham
The town is calling or summoning.
They’re calling out to me
The town is expressing concern about the speaker's well-being.
Saying, please don’t die on us
A plea not to pass away.
I have so many fond memories
Recollection of positive and cherished experiences.
Don’t fight with us
Advising against conflict or disagreement.
I have so many things left to say
Expressing a desire to communicate more.
So many things left to say
Repetition for emphasis on unspoken thoughts.
I remember all the good we did
Reflecting on the positive impact of past actions.
But was it all in vain
Raising doubts about the significance of those actions.
Were we fighting
Questioning the purpose of past struggles.
For a fallen cause
Suspecting that the cause they fought for may have failed.
Am I nothing but a name
Questioning personal identity and impact.
Little John could you take my hand
Requesting emotional support from Little John.
And tell me it’s okay
Seeking reassurance that everything will be fine.
And when I’m gone
Contemplating the aftermath of the speaker's departure.
Will you still fight the man
Asking if the fight against oppression will continue after their death.
So we don’t die in vain
Urging others to persist in the fight to ensure a meaningful legacy.
Saying please don’t die on us
Reiterating the plea not to succumb to death.
I have so many fond memories
Revisiting cherished memories once more.
Don’t fight with us
Advising against discord or strife.
I have so many things left to say
Expressing a desire to convey additional thoughts.
So many things left to say
Repetition, emphasizing the urgency to express more thoughts.
