Uncle John
Reflections of Redemption: Uncle John's Journey to Understanding
Lyrics
Yeah I try
Expressing the effort to achieve something
So many times
Repeated attempts made in the past
In my life
Reflecting on one's life
To get it right
Frustration with previous attempts
Yeah I've been a fool
Admitting to foolish behavior
For much too long
Acknowledging a prolonged period of being foolish
When will I learn?
Questioning when the speaker will learn from mistakes
When will I get it right?
Desire to finally get things right
Uncle John, yeah Uncle John
Addressing someone named Uncle John
What's goin on?
Asking about the current situation or issues
Go and talk to your son
Suggesting Uncle John to talk to his son
Yeah Uncle John, Uncle John
Repeating the address to Uncle John
Talk to your brother
Encouraging Uncle John to communicate with his brother
Sometime soon
Indicating the importance of doing it soon
Hey Jude tell me what can I do?
Reference to "Hey Jude" and seeking advice
I know in times like things
Acknowledging difficulties in times of trouble
It's hard hard just to love
Expressing the challenge of love during hardships
Tell me Jude I've been wonderin where can I turn to
Asking for guidance or options
What can I do?
Reiterating the question about what to do
I've been wonderin and learnin and living
Reflecting on experiences and learning
Doing these things that I do
Engaging in various activities and life
Yeah Uncle John
Repeating the call to Uncle John
Yeah I try
Reiterating the effort to try
Many times
Emphasizing multiple attempts made
When will I learn?
Persistently questioning when the speaker will learn
When will I learn?
Continuing the desire to learn
Yeah I've been wrong
Admitting to a long period of being wrong
For so long
Acknowledging the duration of the mistake
When will I learn?
Repeating the question of when the speaker will learn
When will I learn?
Continuing the desire for self-improvement
Uncle John, yeah Uncle John
Reiterating the address to Uncle John
What's goin on now?
Asking about the current situation again
Go and talk to your son
Encouraging Uncle John to communicate with his son
Well Uncle John, yeah Uncle John
Repeating the call to Uncle John
Talk to your brother
Emphasizing the importance of talking to his brother
Sometime soon
Reiterating the urgency of doing it soon
Well Uncle John
Repeating the call to Uncle John
Go and talk to your brother
Encouraging Uncle John to communicate with his brother
Talk to your brother
Repeating the suggestion to talk to his brother soon
Sometime soon
Emphasizing the urgency of communication
Tell me Uncle John
Asking Uncle John about the current situation
What the hell is goin on?
Expressing confusion or concern about the situation
Talk to your son, talk to your son
Reiterating the advice to talk to his son
