Right Now
Embracing Redemption: Right Now by Brooke Barrettsmith
Lyrics
Wake up
Awakening from a state of unawareness or stagnation.
Follow the ringing in my ears
Following an internal guidance or intuition.
Hold on
Maintaining resilience and perseverance.
How does a day turn into years?
Reflecting on the swift passage of time.
I never thought it'd be so long my journey down a one way road
Expressing surprise at the prolonged journey on a one-way path.
I never thought I'd leave behind the part of me that used to dream
Leaving behind a former self that had aspirations.
I can start again
Finding the strength to start anew.
Right now
Emphasizing the current emotional struggle.
I'm dying inside
Feeling internal pain or distress.
And I don't ever wanna feel it again
Expressing a desire to avoid a recurring negative emotion.
It's time
Acknowledging the need for change.
To make it alright
Committing to making things better.
Because I wanna know how it coulda been
Curiosity about alternative outcomes in life.
And I'm sorry that it's like this
Apologizing for the current difficult situation.
Cuz it's such a mess I know
Acknowledging the chaotic state of affairs.
And I'm sorry that it's like this
Reiterating regret for the challenging circumstances.
New day
Welcoming a new beginning with a fresh perspective.
Moving beyond what broke me down
Moving forward from past setbacks.
Letting go
Releasing attachments and surrendering to change.
I'm giving it all up to be found
Offering everything up in the quest to be discovered or understood.
I never thought a second chance would ever let this day begin
Surprised by the opportunity for a new beginning.
I never thought I'd be the one to show the world You've overcome
Taking on the role of showcasing personal triumph over challenges.
I can start again
Reaffirming the ability to start afresh.
I wanna stand my ground in every circumstance
Expressing a determination to stand firm despite challenges.
I won't let 'em keep me down
Resisting external forces trying to bring one down.
You've given me a second chance
Gratitude for a second chance at life or opportunities.
Given me a second chance
Acknowledging and appreciating the gift of a new beginning.
