Let the Rest of the World Go By
Discovering Peace Beyond Life's Struggles
Lyrics
Is the struggle and strife we find in this life
Questioning the value of the struggles and challenges in life.
Really worth while, after all
Contemplating whether it's worthwhile in the end.
I've been wishing today I could just run away
Expressing a desire to escape from the challenges faced today.
Out where the west winds call
Yearning to go where the west winds beckon.
With someone like you, a pal good and true
Desiring the companionship of someone reliable and true.
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Wishing to leave everything behind and embark on a journey.
Some place that's known to god alone
Seeking a place known only to God, away from the world.
Just a spot to call our own
Aspiring to have a special place to call their own.
We'll find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Anticipating finding peace and eternal joy in that place.
Out there beneath a kindly sky
Imagining a serene existence beneath a benevolent sky.
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
Planning to build a cozy nest in the western region.
And let the rest of the world go by
Choosing to disregard the rest of the chaotic world.
Is the future to hold just struggles for gold
Reflecting on whether the future holds only material struggles.
While the real world waits outside
Contrasting the struggles with the real world outside.
Away out on the breast of the wonderful west
Imagining the west as a wonderful and promising destination.
Across the great divide
Referring to the vast separation or challenges to overcome.
With someone like you, a pal good and true
Reiterating the desire for a reliable and true companion.
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Expressing the wish to leave everything behind with that person.
Some place that's known to god alone
Seeking a place secluded and known only to God.
Just a spot to call our own
Desiring a personal and intimate spot to share.
We'll find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Anticipating perpetual peace and joy in their chosen haven.
Out there beneath a kindly sky
Imagining a life beneath a benevolent sky.
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
Envisioning the construction of a comfortable home in the west.
And let the rest of the world go by
Choosing to ignore the chaos of the world and focus on personal bliss.
