I've Got This Song
Resilience in Harmony: Blackberry Smoke's Anthem of Life's Ups and Downs
Lyrics
These days, the good days are fewer and farther between
Times of happiness are becoming less frequent and more distant.
Sometimes the hard times a shadow on my my sky-blue dream
Difficulties occasionally overshadow my hopeful aspirations.
I don't have much if you look through the eyes of the world
My possessions or achievements may not impress when viewed by societal standards.
Open me up and you might find just one shinin' pearl
Despite outward appearances, there's a valuable aspect to discover if explored.
I've got this song, a story to tell
This song holds a narrative that speaks about various experiences.
About the good times and bad times, heaven and hell
It encompasses both positive and negative moments, representing contrasting states.
Well it might not be pretty, or have much to say
It might not be aesthetically pleasing or articulate, lacking elaborate content.
But it's all I've got left at the end of the day
However, it remains my sole possession by day's end.
It's the one thing they can't take away
It's an element that cannot be confiscated or taken from me.
I've got this song
This song is my possession and refuge.
I've got a short list of good friends I can count on to answer my call
I have a small circle of reliable friends who support me when needed.
And a long list of bad things I might not be proud of at all
There's a lengthy list of my actions or choices that I might regret.
Show me a man who hasn't yet learned how to fall
A person who hasn't experienced failure hasn't truly learned.
There is a man who doesn't know much yet at all
In not facing failures, one remains inexperienced.
I've got this song, a story to tell
Similar to before, the song recounts various life events.
About the good times and bad times, heaven and hell
It narrates both favorable and adverse circumstances.
Well it might not be pretty, or have much to say
The song lacks sophistication or extensive content.
But it's all I've got left at the end of the day
Yet, it remains as my sole possession by the day's end.
It's the one thing they can't take away
It's an invaluable possession that can't be confiscated.
I've got this song
This song stands as my sanctuary.
I've got this song, a story to tell
Reiteration of the song's narrative about various life experiences.
About the good times and bad times, heaven and hell
It encompasses both favorable and adverse life situations.
Well it might not be pretty, or have much to say
It lacks sophistication or extensive content.
But it's all I've got left at the end of the day
Nevertheless, it remains my sole possession by day's end.
It's the one thing they can't take away
It's an invaluable possession that can't be taken away.
The one thing they can't take away
Emphasizing its invulnerability to confiscation or loss.
I've got this song
This song is my refuge and possession.
I've got this song
Reiteration of the ownership and value of this song.
