A Toast To Canaan
A Toast to Love's Triumph: Carrio Xanders' Ode to Resilience
Lyrics
Come to me in a second, you're the one that I adore
Celebrating the presence of a beloved person, expressing admiration.
And you know you're very precious, and I came to assure you
Reassuring the preciousness of the person and the speaker's assurance.
My hand is on the handle before you knock the door
Symbolic gesture of readiness and anticipation for the beloved's arrival.
'Cos you're a taste of heaven, a savour I can't ignore, no
Describing the beloved as heavenly and irresistible.
Make a toast to the living one
Encouraging a celebration or toast for life and its blessings.
Say cheers to the living one
-Make a toast to the living one
-Say cheers to the living one
-God giveth and God taketh
Reflecting on the divine nature of life and expressing gratitude for God's greatness and grace.
All things that God maketh
-There is no man who can rob me of God's greatness
-For God's gracious
-I am the one who lost it twice and I thought I was done
Personal acknowledgment of overcoming challenges or setbacks.
You are the son, rose up in the east just like the sun
Comparing the beloved to a rising sun and emphasizing divine beginnings.
Who on earth could even try to truncate what God begun
-Oh no, they must be dumb
Dismissive of those who oppose or underestimate the divine purpose.
Let yourself be immersed in the story of the resurrection
Referencing the resurrection story and a journey of significance.
And how we journeyed for 40 years to this destination
-Maybe it wouldn't have taken this long
Acceptance of the journey's duration with a sense of belonging.
But I take peace 'cos I know I'm right where I belong
-Now listen, I was tailor-made to the codes of propriety
Describing personal growth, submission to a higher power, and divine guidance.
But I fell hard on the stumbling blocks of society
-I learnt to submit to the will and plan of the master
-His invisible hands painting brush strokes on an empty canvas
-Now pour yourself a drink, raise your glass to the sky
Suggesting the act of raising a glass as a comforting ritual for past sorrows.
It's the sweetest consolation for the tears that I cried
-Come to me in a second, you're the one that I adore
Repetition of expressions of love and the beloved's heavenly nature.
And you know you're very precious, and I came to assure you
-My hand is on the handle before you knock the door
-'Cos you're a taste of heaven, a savour I can't ignore, no
-Make a toast to the living one
Reiterating the celebration and cheers for life.
Say cheers to the living one
-Make a toast to the living one
-Say cheers to the living one
-You're a gift from the giver of good things
Describing the beloved as a precious and consistent source of joy.
You're precious, specifically crafted in cool springs
-You bring me thrill, not the kind that a fool brings
-That's contingent on unpredictable mood swings
-That's here today, but gone tomorrow
Contrasting the transient nature of some joys with the enduring presence of the beloved.
You are here to stay, euphoria to my sorrows
-You are made of shades and tones of pretty colours
Expressing elation and gratitude for the beloved's positive impact.
Yeah I feel elated, though I started from the bottom
-You are mine and I am yours, they can't take you away from me
Claiming possession and cherishing the victory after past defeats.
When you've been defeated once, you appreciate victory
-I raise you up like young Simba to the heavens
Symbolic elevation of the beloved, emphasizing their royalty and joy.
You are royalty, my joyousness, I'm always at your beckon
-Let it be known that I waited for this miracle
Expressing patience for a miracle and a desire to stay on the pinnacle of joy.
And I don't ever wanna get off this pinnacle
-Now pour yourself a drink, raise your glass to the sky
Repeating the comforting ritual of raising a glass for past tears.
It's the sweetest consolation for the tears that I cried
-Come to me in a second, you're the one that I adore
Reiteration of love, reassurance, and the heavenly nature of the beloved.
And you know you're very precious, and I came to assure you
-My hand is on the handle before you knock the door
-'Cos you're a taste of heaven, a savour I can't ignore, no
-Make a toast to the living one
Final call for a toast and cheers to the living one, summarizing the celebration.
Say cheers to the living one
-Make a toast to the living one
-Say cheers to the living one
