Something Gold
Redemption's Melody: Unveiling Life's Transformative Alchemy
Lyrics
Jesus said he loved me so
Expressing belief in Jesus' love.
I believe that, you know
Affirming faith in Jesus' love.
Sure I believe in the ghost, I believe in the sun
Believing in the supernatural (ghost) and the life-giving (sun).
I believe that we all were holy once
Believing in the inherent holiness of all people.
But now our sins are catching up
Acknowledging the consequences of past mistakes (sins).
From our father's drinking cup
Referring to the generational impact of alcoholism.
To the oldest of wines that we pour from the flask
Alluding to the experience and wisdom gained over time (oldest of wines).
The things that we should but we never do ask
Expressing reluctance to ask important questions.
I think my sister's got it right
Acknowledging a positive trait in the speaker's sister.
Follow through and don't lose sight
Encouraging persistence and focus.
Of all the things that kept you safe as a child
Reflecting on elements that provided safety in childhood.
And brought you back from the edges of wild
Highlighting the return from risky or wild situations.
If I ever learned a thing
Sharing a lesson learned.
It was that my own wedding ring
Reflecting on the durability of commitment (wedding ring).
Was made of metal that I can not break
Expressing emotional pain when removing the wedding ring.
When I took it off my poor heart it did ache
No specific meaning provided in this line.
But that metal can be melted down
Exploring the malleability of emotions and relationships.
And bad love, it can turn around
Indicating the potential for positive change in love.
It can turn up a brand new street of it's own
Anticipating the emergence of a new, positive path in love.
And turn into something sweet, something gold
Describing the transformative and precious nature of newfound love (something gold).
