Put the Message in the Box
Echoes of Wisdom: Drive the Message Around the World
Lyrics
And if you listen now
Encourages the listener to pay attention.
You might hear
Suggests the possibility of hearing something significant.
A new sound coming in
Anticipates a new sound emerging while an old one fades away.
As an old one disappears
Highlights the transient nature of things.
See the world in just one grain of sand
Metaphorically urges to perceive the vast world in a small detail.
You better take a closer look
Advises a closer examination of surroundings.
Don't let it slip right thru your hand
Caution against letting opportunities slip away.
Won't hou please hear the call
Requests to heed a call, possibly from the world or conscience.
The world says
Indicates a message from the world or society.
CHORUS
Introduction to the chorus.
Put the message in the box
Directs to convey a message.
Put the box into the car
Instructs to place the message in a box.
Drive the car around the world
Suggests taking the message worldwide.
Until you get heard
Emphasizes the goal of being heard globally.
Now is the moment
Emphasizes the importance of the present moment.
Please understand
Asks for comprehension of the message.
The road is wide open
Indicates an open path to everyone's heart.
To the heart of every man
Emphasizes simplicity as a universal language.
A few simple words
Suggests using straightforward words.
So a mule could understand
Illustrates the simplicity of the message.
He don't want tomorrow
Rejects a future that disintegrates like sand.
If it's just crumbling into sand
Reiterates the call for attention.
Won't please hear the call
Repeats the call from the world or conscience.
She says
Indicates a response from a female perspective.

Give a little bit

Give a little bit of your love to me

Cos I'm waiting right here with my open arms
Expresses readiness to receive love with open arms.
Give a little bit
Reiterates the call for sharing a part of one's soul.
Give a little bit of your soul to me
Expresses anticipation of the listener's unique qualities.
Cos I'm waiting to behold your many charms
Expects to witness the listener's charm.
Is that love in the air?
