Lyrics
Did someone call my name?
Questioning if someone called the speaker's name.
Like a distant drum is beating
Comparing the call to a distant drum beating.
Or is it just another dream along of long ago?
Wondering if the call is a dream from long ago.
I dance again I am spinning
Expressing a sense of dancing and spinning.
In the light I am living
Feeling alive and illuminated in the light.
And I can feel the power rushing through my veins
Sensing a powerful energy flowing through the speaker's veins.
Once upon a time I could do no wrong
Reflecting on a time when the speaker could do no wrong.
For the candle flickers, the flame is never gone
Acknowledging challenges but emphasizing resilience.
To my brilliant feat
Referring to the speaker's remarkable achievements.
They all pay heed
Noticing that others pay attention to the speaker's feats.
I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly
Hearing loud cheers from the crowds in response to the speaker's actions.
Is it a game of chance
Contemplating whether life is a game of chance or driven by circumstances.
Or merely circumstances
Questioning the role of luck and fate in one's journey.
A jack to a king and back
Describing ups and downs in life, from a jack to a king and back.
Then you have to pay to play
Highlighting the cost of participation and engagement in life.
The world it won't wait for you
Stating that the world continues, indifferent to individual struggles.
It's got its own things to do
Emphasizing the world's self-sufficiency and preoccupation.
The sun's gotta rise and drive another night away
Describing the cyclical nature of day and night.
And as I listen to the silence
Listening to silence and perceiving distant thunder.
I can hear thunder in the distance
Suggesting an impending storm or turmoil.
To my brilliant feat
Reiterating the speaker's remarkable achievements.
They all pay heed
Observing the attention and acknowledgment received from others.
I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly
Hearing loud cheers from the crowds in response to the speaker's actions.
To my brilliant feat
Reiterating the speaker's remarkable achievements.
I make grown men weep
Indicating the emotional impact of the speaker's feats on others.
And still my eyes grow oh so cloudy
Noting a clouding of the speaker's vision despite success.
