Walkin' in The Sun
Embracing the Light: Chaka Khan's Journey from Darkness to Sunshine
Lyrics
Things have been goin' wrong long enough to know
Recognizing and acknowledging a history of difficulties and challenges.
Everything is right
Feeling that everything is now going well and in the right direction.
Been walkin' in the dark long enough to know
Experiencing a period of uncertainty or difficulties.
Finally seen the light
Having gained insight or clarity, realizing a positive change or solution.
Been losin' long enough to know
Enduring losses and setbacks for a sufficient duration.
When I've finally won
Achieving victory or success after a prolonged period of struggle.
And even a blind man can tell
Highlighting the universal nature of recognizing positive circumstances.
When he's walkin' in the sun
Emphasizing the clarity and certainty experienced in positive situations.
I've cried enough tears to know
Expressing a depth of emotional experience through tears.
This feeling's called a smile
Acknowledging a shift from sadness to happiness, as represented by a smile.
I've been bottom rung long enough to know
Having faced challenges and hardships at the lowest point.
When I'm doin' it in style
Experiencing success and prosperity with a sense of elegance and flair.
Been run long to know
Having run a considerable distance, implying the end of the need to run.
There's no more need to run
Reaching a point where further escape or avoidance is unnecessary.
And even a blind man can tell
Reiterating the idea that positive experiences are universally recognizable.
When he's walkin' in the sun
Stressing the clarity and certainty in moments of positivity.
Oh, the wind is at my back
Symbolizing favorable conditions and support for one's endeavors.
And I'm sailin' on a ship that's overdue
Metaphorically sailing on a long-awaited opportunity or relationship.
Well, I've blown so many chances
Expressing awareness of past mistakes and a determination not to repeat them.
I ain't gonna blow this one with you
Committing to making the most of a current positive situation or relationship.
Seen enough bad times to know
Having experienced hardship, recognizing the onset of better times.
Good times have begun
Confirming the arrival of positive and enjoyable experiences.
And even a blind man can tell
Reiterating the universal nature of recognizing positive circumstances.
When he's walkin' in the sun
Emphasizing the clarity and certainty experienced in positive situations.
Even a blind man can tell
Underscoring the idea that even those facing challenges can recognize positivity.
When he's walkin' in the sun
Reiterating the theme of recognizing positive situations, particularly in the sun.
In the sun
Repeating the idea of being in a positive and sunny state.
In the sun
Further emphasizing the positive state, reinforcing the notion of being in the sun.
In the sun
Concluding with a final affirmation of being in a positive and sunny state.
