The Power of Allowing and Receiving
Embracing Life's Bounty: The Power of Allowing and Receiving
Lyrics
As I lay bathing in the blazing mountain heat
Describing the speaker lying in intense mountain heat
No, there was nothing between the sun and me
Emphasizing the absence of anything between the sun and the speaker
Except the shadow of an incidental bird
Noting the presence of a bird's shadow, suggesting an incidental encounter
Who kept on circling to ensure I wasn't hurt
Indicating the bird's protective circling to ensure the speaker's safety
It hung in the sky, and kept me in its shade
Describing how the bird's shadow provided shade for the speaker
So once I'd gone inside, on my skin, I found its shape
Reflecting on the lingering impact of the bird's shadow on the speaker's skin
In pale relief now, I am believing
Expressing a newfound belief in the concept of allowing and receiving
In the power of allowing and receiving
Reiterating the belief in the power of allowing and receiving
In the power of allowing and receiving
Repetition of the belief in allowing and receiving, emphasizing its significance
Something came to carry off my grieving like it was nothing
Describing a positive transformation in the speaker's emotional state
I am believing in the power of allowing and receiving
Reaffirming the speaker's belief in the power of allowing and receiving
Riches from the hands that long to share their gold
Referring to wealth offered willingly by generous hands
If you'd just loosen up that old white-knuckle hold
Encouraging the release of a tight grip on burdens or worries
That binds your burdens closer than you might would guess
Highlighting the burden's closeness and the need to let go
Just set 'em down now and dance around
Encouraging a carefree dance after releasing burdens
Sung out to the sky, a song from balled-up roots
Describing a song sung to the sky, originating from deep roots
You're bound to catch reply as sure as trees yield fruit
Suggesting positive responses when burdens are set aside
Their leaves are shining
Metaphorically describing shining leaves, possibly representing positive outcomes
I am believing in the power
Reiterating belief in the power of allowing and receiving
In the power of allowing and receiving
Repetition emphasizing the transformative power of allowing and receiving
Somehow it carries off my grieving like it was nothing
Describing the easing of grief through the power of allowing and receiving
I am believing in the power of allowing and receiving
Reaffirming belief in the transformative power of allowing and receiving
