Tapestry
Tapestry of Life: A Musical Odyssey Through Change and Redemption
Lyrics
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue,
Life has been a varied and colorful experience
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view.
It's a continuous and evolving perspective
A wondrous woven magic in bits of blue and gold
Beautiful and enchanting moments in blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold.
Life experiences that can be felt and seen but not contained
Once, amid the soft, silver sadness in the sky,
Describing a moment of melancholy in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by.
A passing stranger, possibly fortunate, entered the scene
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide,
His appearance was ragged and worn
And a coat of many colors, yellow, green on either side.
He wore a multicolored coat, signifying diversity
He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
He seemed lost or unsure of his purpose
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go.
Uncertain about his intentions or direction
Once he reached for something golden, hanging from a tree,
Attempted to reach for something precious but failed
And his hand came down empty.
His attempt to grasp something valuable was unsuccessful
Soon within my tapestry, along the rutted road,
The stranger became a part of the storyteller's experiences
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad.
He transformed into a toad, seemingly under a curse
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell,
It appeared he fell victim to someone's malicious magic
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well.
The storyteller felt empathy despite not knowing him well
As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared
A mysterious figure emerged during the storyteller's sadness
A figure, gray and ghostly, beneath a flowing beard.
The figure was spectral with a flowing beard
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black.
Has been seen in dark times, possibly representing difficulty
Now my tapestry's unraveling; he's come to take me back.
The storyteller's life seems to be unraveling, and this figure symbolizes impending change or transition
He's come to take me back.
Reiteration of the figure's intention to take the storyteller away
