More Not More
Embracing Life's Yearning: More Not More by Bruce Cockburn
Lyrics
I don't mean to cling to you my friends
I don't intend to hold on tightly to my friends
It's just I hate the day to have to end
Expressing a dislike for the end of the day
Never enough time to spend
Insufficient time to spend
I haven't done enough for this to be the end
I haven't accomplished enough for this to be the end
There must be more, more
Expressing a desire for more in life
More songs more warmth
Yearning for more songs and warmth
More love more life
Desiring more love and more life
Not more fear not more fame
Rejecting more fear and more fame
Not more money not more games
Rejecting more money and more games
There, you, coming through the crowd
Describing someone entering the scene
Blue light silhouettes your head
Observing the person in blue light
I want to shout your name out loud
Expressing a desire to loudly call out the person's name
But I shout inside instead
Choosing to shout internally instead of aloud
There must be more, more
Expressing a longing for more in various aspects
More current more spark
Desiring more current and spark
More touch deep in the heart
Yearning for more touch deep in the heart
Not more thoughtless cruelty
Rejecting thoughtless cruelty
Not more being this lonely
Rejecting the feeling of loneliness
Don't I hear them talking?
Acknowledging the awareness of others talking
Don't I know what they say?
Acknowledging awareness of what others say
I'm a fool for thinking
Admitting to being hopeful despite potential foolishness
Things could be better than they were today
Expressing a desire for things to be better than today
There must be more, more
Yearning for more growth and truth
More growth more truth
Desiring more freedom and authenticity
More chains more loose
Yearning for more liberation from constraints
Not more pain not more walls
Rejecting more pain and more walls
Not more living human voodoo dolls
Rejecting the idea of living as a human voodoo doll
