River of Time
Navigating Life's Currents: Bill Miller's Reflections on the River of Time
Lyrics
I was lookin' back on faded dreams from yesturday
I reflect on dreams from the past, now faded.
Like a brush from my past they painted the evening sky
Memories from my past, like strokes of a brush, painted the evening sky.
But the currents so strong, I couldn't hold on
The forces of life were too strong, making it difficult to hold on to those memories.
They kept rollin' by
Those memories kept moving forward, continuing despite my attempts to grasp them.
And all the colors bled into a river of time
All the vibrant experiences blend together, forming a metaphorical river of time.
The innocent child fades into the mist on the river of time
The innocence of childhood fades away, disappearing into the mist of time.
An angry young man is shaking his fist on the river of time
An angry young man expresses frustration, shaking his fist at the passage of time.
Roll on river of time, rage on river of time
The river of time continues, carrying both the rage and the innocence of the past.
There are faces and places I hold sacred
There are people and moments in my life that I consider sacred.
Some I've passed along the way
Some of these have been left behind as I journey through life.
Some live on in memory, some I've passed along the way
Memories of certain faces and places linger, while others are left behind.
With the rain from a storm, a river is born
Similar to a river formed by rain, memories give birth to a flowing river of time.
Winding down to the sea, and the river of time
This river winds its way down to the sea, symbolizing the continuous flow of time.
Keeps on rollin' thru eternity
The river of time persists, rolling through eternity without ceasing.
The angry young man learns how to forgive
The angry young man learns the power of forgiveness as time passes.
On the river of time
This learning process occurs on the river of time.
He holds an innocent child in his arms
The angry young man cradles an innocent child, symbolizing reconciliation and growth.
On the river of time
This transformative moment also takes place on the river of time.
Roll on river of time
The river of time continues to roll forward, unstoppable in its course.
Rage on river of time
Despite its relentless flow, the river of time carries with it both rage and resilience.
