A Small Flashlight
Navigating Darkness: A Small Flashlight's Wisdom
Lyrics
The way is dark up ahead of me
The journey ahead is unclear and challenging.
The way is dark and I cannot see
The path is obscure, and I lack clarity about what lies ahead.
What I love the most is a flashlight beam
The things I cherish the most are like a guiding light in the darkness.
Lighting up the way when I cannot see
A metaphorical flashlight helps illuminate the path when it's not visible.
The way unfolds like an open hand
The journey unfolds unexpectedly, much like an open hand.
The way unfolds like I didn't plan
The unfolding path doesn't always conform to my plans.
And only in looking back do we understand
Understanding often comes only when reflecting on the past.
That the way was true as an open hand
The journey, like an open hand, reveals its truth when observed retrospectively.
Over trials and trouble I've already come
I've overcome challenges and obstacles in the past.
And the net appeared when I needed one
Support or solutions often appear when needed the most.
Yes the road is dark and the ground is rough
The journey is difficult, and the terrain is tough.
Most the time a flashlight has to be enough
A flashlight, symbolizing limited resources, is sometimes all we have.
We move forward one step at a time
We progress slowly, one step at a time.
Wide-eyed and hopeful, lost and half blind
We move forward with optimism, despite being partially blind to the future.
Mistake by mistake, we all learn to be kind
We learn to be kind through a series of mistakes.
There is so much to see and to realize
There's much to discover and comprehend in life.
If I could close my mouth and open up my eyes
If I could be more observant and less talkative, I would gain deeper insights.
And the world will tell us more than enough lies
The world often deceives us, but we navigate through it with our limited understanding.
But we'll find our way with a small flashlight
Even with a small metaphorical flashlight, we find our way through challenges.
