Day Is Done
Embracing Life's Echoes: Day's End Reflections
Lyrics
When the day is done
Reflecting on the conclusion of a day
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Symbolizing the end of daylight
Along with everything that was lost and won
Acknowledging both gains and losses from the day
When the day is done
Reiteration of contemplating the end of the day
When the day is done
Expressing the hope for a fulfilled life
Hope so much your race will be all run
Anticipating the completion of life's journey
Then you find you jumped the gun
Realization of premature actions
Have to go back where you began
Emphasizing the need to return to the starting point
When the day is done when the night is cold
Connecting the end of the day with a cold night
Some get by but some get old
Highlighting the varied experiences of individuals with age
Just to show life's not made of gold
Challenging the notion that life is perfect
When the night is cold
Reiteration of challenges during cold nights
When the bird has flown
Describing loneliness after a departure
Got no-one to call your own
Lamenting the absence of personal connections
Got no place to call your home
Feeling without a true home
When the bird has flown
Reiteration of solitude after someone leaves
When the game's been fought
Reflecting on a competition or struggle
You sped the ball across the court
Regretting a loss sooner than expected
Lost much sooner than you would have thought
Recognizing the unpredictability of outcomes
Now the game's been fought
Confirmation of the end of the mentioned struggle
When the party's through
Depicting sadness after a celebration concludes
Seems so very sad for you
Expressing regret for unfulfilled actions
Didn't do the things you meant to do
Failure to accomplish intended goals
Now there's no time to start anew
Lamenting the lack of time for a fresh start
Now the party's through
Confirmation of the end of the mentioned celebration
When the day is done
Reiteration of reflecting on the end of a day
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Symbolizing the sun's descent and the closure of events
Along with everything that was lost and won
Summarizing the collective impact of experiences
When the day is done
Final reiteration of contemplating the conclusion of the day
