Better by Far
Embracing Lifelong Bonds: Better by Far
Lyrics
If we meet in the clearing
Meeting in a symbolic space where connection is possible.
I will hold you once again
Expressing a longing to embrace someone once more.
All us road weary men will be young ones again
An aspiration to regain youthful spirit amidst life's trials.
And I'll laugh and I'll call you my friend
Reaffirming a deep bond and camaraderie.
There's a lifetime in your handshake
A gesture indicating a significant history and experience shared.
There's a fire that's still burning bright
A metaphor for enduring passion and vitality.
We'll start over again and we'll laugh at our sins
Embracing past mistakes and finding humor in them.
When we hold ourselves up to the light
Reflecting on one's actions and decisions in the context of truth and understanding.
There comes a time of forgiving
Reaching a point of acceptance and letting go of past grievances.
To fearlessly tally your scars
Counting the wounds and experiences as a measure of growth and resilience.
Of all of the times we have lived through
Reflecting on the multitude of experiences lived through.
Now this one is better by far
Recognizing that the current moment surpasses all previous ones.
If we ever get to heaven
Imagining a gathering in a celestial realm.
We will have such a gathering there
Anticipating reunions and shared memories with lost friends.
There's a dozen lost friends that I know in the end
Acknowledging the wealth of stories accumulated through life's journey.
Will have so many stories to share
A deep yearning and longing for the presence of a dear one.
And oh, but how I have missed you
An expressed desire to reconnect and inquire about someone's well-being.
And I've longed to find out how you are
Reflecting on the comparison of various life paths taken.
Of all of the roads that we've rambled
Asserting that the current path stands out as superior.
Now this one is better by far
Emphasizing the significant improvement of the current situation.
Better by far
Reiterating the superiority of the current state of affairs.
When the currency of life
Valuing relationships and connections as the true wealth of life.
Is the counting of friends
Highlighting the importance of friendships and companionship.
Better by far
Choosing to enjoy and appreciate the journey rather than focusing solely on the destination.
To be loving the journey
A reflective stance on the significance of experiencing life's moments.
Than to live for the end
Opting for a life lived fully in the present rather than fixating on the future's outcome.
If I glance over my shoulder
Looking back at the past experiences that have led to the present moment.
I might see the steps leading me here
Acknowledging the journey's progression and growth.
If I gaze at the horizon
Contemplating the extent of travels and experiences.
Then the length of my travels comes clear
Realizing the full scope of one's life journey.
Sure as one foot will follow another
Expressing determination to never lose sight of aspirations.
I will never lose sight of the stars
Committing to always aim for greatness and follow one's dreams.
With all of your bright lights around me
Surrounded by positivity and support, embracing eternity.
Forever is better by far
Recognizing the endless beauty and potential of eternal existence.
Better by far
Reiterating the superiority of an eternal existence.
Better by far
Emphasizing the excellence of an eternal state of being.
