Saved a Song
Echoes of Life: Divine Reflections in 'Saved a Song'
Lyrics
I was taught to colour in the lines
I was taught to follow rules and conform to societal expectations.
Never get to speak what's on mind
Expressing oneself openly was discouraged or suppressed.
Always thought that demons come at night
There was a belief that challenges or negative experiences often arise during the night.
But it seems they come out any time
Demons or difficulties can emerge at any time, not just at night.
My mama said enjoy life while you're young
Advice from the mother to enjoy life during youth.
I was taught all secrets come undone
Secrets are destined to be revealed eventually.
Life won’t always give you what you want
Life doesn't always grant desires; one must be proactive.
You better get that head start
Suggesting the importance of taking an early initiative.
I saved a song for you
