The Dash
Embrace the Dash: A Poetic Journey through Life's Moments
Lyrics
Born to the world you take your first breathe
Born into the world, experiencing your first breath.
Mom holds you tight and she takes care of the rest
A mother's nurturing care as she holds you tight.
Time and through love you take your first steps
Progressing through time and love, taking initial steps in life.
To growing up now you do you're best
Growing up, doing your best to navigate life's challenges.
There's just a dash between dates on a stone
Life is represented by a dash between the dates on a gravestone.
That's all you got you best make it your own
Emphasizing the limited time represented by the dash; encouraging to make it meaningful.
Life's not the day you were born or you leave
Life is not just about the day you are born or the day you leave; it's about the time in between.
It's all just the dash in between
Highlighting the significance of the "dash" in one's life journey.
Weeks turned to years and there's a mom on her own
Years pass, and a single mother faces the challenges of raising children alone.
She struggles to breathe raising kids all alone
The struggle of a single mother, emphasizing her strength amid difficulties.
Persistent is proof that life will move on
Perseverance is evidence that life continues despite hardships.
The struggles will ease if you weather that storm
Assurance that difficulties will diminish if one weathers the storms of life.
Time and time you'll push that line
Consistently pushing boundaries and striving for personal growth.
Until you measure up
Striving until you measure up to your own standards.
Line after line you might find your self before you go
Continuously assessing oneself before departing from life.
Years into life and you fall into yourself
As years pass, self-discovery becomes a significant aspect of life.
You don't know your name or the folks that you have helped
Reaching a point where one may not recognize themselves or the impact they've had on others.
But the lives that you changed you're engrained in their soul
Despite self-forgetfulness, the positive influence on others remains deeply ingrained.
And You live on forever with all the love that you've sowed
Living on eternally through the love and positive actions sown in others' lives.
There's just a dash between dates on a stone
Reiteration of the limited time represented by the dash on a gravestone.
That's all you got you best make it your own
Encouragement to make the most of the limited time in one's life journey.
Life's not the day you were born or you leave
Life is not solely defined by the day of birth or departure; it's about the entirety of one's journey.
It's all just the dash in between
Reiteration of the significance of the dash in the span of one's life.
Life's not the day you were born or you leave
Emphasizing that life is about the time between birth and departure, represented by the dash.
