I'm Counting on You
Counting on Tomorrow: Nurturing Hope Amidst Lost Dreams
Lyrics
The night is so wild, and downstairs the child,
The night is chaotic, and downstairs, a child is peacefully sleeping.
Is sleeping, her spirit is free,
The child's spirit is free, suggesting innocence and purity.
For more than an hour, I have walked in the rain,
The singer has walked in the rain for over an hour, contemplating the future of the child.
I've been wondering what she will be,
Wondering about the child's potential and what she will become.
But where are the heroes, where are the dreams,
Expressing a longing for heroes and dreams reminiscent of the singer's youth.
That I had, when I was young,
Reflecting on the dreams the singer had in their younger years.
Am I hoping in vain, just to think,
Pondering if the hope for positive change is futile.
She could change anything?
Questioning the possibility of the child bringing about positive change.
Well I'm counting on you;
Expressing reliance on the child for a positive future.
I'm counting on you to bring that sweet gentleness,
Counting on the child to bring gentleness to the world and their actions.
To your world and all that you do,
Encouraging the child to make a positive impact on the world.
My generation is losing its way,
Noting a sense of loss and confusion in the current generation.
We don't know, what we're leaving for you,
Acknowledging the uncertainty of what the current generation is leaving for the child.
So may there be millions who feel like you do,
Expressing a desire for many others to share the child's positive feelings.
Oh my love,
Endearing term ("Oh my love") expressing deep affection.
There is so much to know,
Highlighting the vastness of knowledge that the child has yet to explore.
There is so far to go,
Emphasizing the long journey ahead for the child.
But you are not alone,
Assuring the child that they are not alone in facing the challenges of the world.
When this is your world,
Reiterating that the child's world is the singer's world too.
And I'm counting on you;
Reaffirming reliance on the child for a positive impact on the world.
Come to me, turn to me, give me your eyes,
Inviting the child to share their perspective and insights.
When you see the mysteries of time,
Encouraging the child to observe and understand the mysteries of time.
Here there are those who just live in the past,
Referencing those who dwell in the past and resist accepting historical truths.
They will never let history lie,
Highlighting a refusal to let go of historical inaccuracies.
And this sad little island is breaking my heart,
Expressing emotional distress over a place (island) and its history.
With its dark,
Describing the island's dark and somber features.
Shades of green,
Noting the various shades of green on the island, possibly symbolizing complexities.
And as hard as I try, I just cannot see why,
Struggling to understand why the situation on the island is disheartening.
This should be
I'm counting on you,
Reiterating reliance on the child for positive change.
There is so much to know,
Emphasizing the vastness of knowledge and experience yet to be gained.
There is so far to go,
Acknowledging the long journey ahead for positive change.
But you are not alone,
Assuring the child that they are not alone in facing challenges.
When this is your world,
Reiterating that the child's world is interconnected with the singer's world.
And I'm counting on you,
Reaffirming reliance on the child for positive impact.
I'm counting on you
Repeating the expression of reliance on the child for a positive future.
