Place in Time
Finding Meaning Beyond Tears
Lyrics
As a new day wakens, hold it down
Encouraging someone to seize the beginning of a new day and not let it slip away.
And pick up the stars that were shaken to the ground
To gather and reclaim lost hopes or dreams that seem out of reach.
Just hold to them tight, and hope they’ll ignite the way
Hold onto those aspirations tightly, believing they will guide and inspire the way forward.
Wipe those tears from your eyes, baby, why do you cry
Questioning why someone is shedding tears, expressing concern and care.
A single thought that has embraced you, has left you to die
An idea or emotion that once provided comfort has abandoned the person, leading to despair.
And as those tears they fall, down your angel skin
Describing tears rolling down someone's delicate or pure skin, urging them to observe reality.
Please just open your eyes to see your world for what it is
Requesting someone to open their eyes and perceive the world as it truly exists.
Just take those tears and wash them away with time
Suggesting that time can heal emotional wounds by allowing tears to fade away with its passage.
Feel as the hours take you for this ride
Experiencing the journey of time and its impact on emotions.
Listen as minutes whisper what’s inside
Encouraging attentive listening to the subtle expressions of inner feelings conveyed by passing minutes.
And the days, they go by, as I look in your eyes
Observing the passage of days while looking into someone's eyes, pondering efforts made.
Have we done all we can
Questioning whether everything possible has been done in a given situation.
Did we leave our own trace or have we been replaced
Wondering if one's impact or influence has endured or been replaced by others.
As we’re hoping to one day find our place in time
Expressing a shared hope to eventually discover one's rightful place in the progression of time.
I see you staring out the window, but what do you see
Questioning what someone perceives when gazing out of a window, pondering life's messages.
A message in life as the wind blows, that shakes down the leaves
Comparing life's messages to the leaves shaken loose by the wind, implying transient insights.
I take your hand in mine, your head under my chin
Physical closeness and support provided by one person to another during a reflective moment.
Is this the passing time, or is this where time begins
Contemplating whether the current moment signifies the passage of time or the commencement of something new.
I’ll let you know when I do
A promise to inform when understanding or clarity about the situation is attained.
Feel as the hours take you for this ride
Reiteration of experiencing the journey of time and its effects.
Listen as minutes whisper what’s inside
Encouraging attentive listening to internal emotions conveyed subtly by passing minutes.
And the days, they go by, as I look in your eyes
Reflecting on the passage of days while looking into someone's eyes and assessing actions taken.
Have we done all we can

We take all the stars that have fallen, that we’ve kept inside
Gathering lost dreams or aspirations that have been retained but remain unfulfilled.
As we hold them close up to the moonlight and watch the stars ignite
Bringing the retained dreams close to the moonlight, suggesting a desire for their realization.
Feel as the hours take you for this ride (Baby)
Reiteration of experiencing the journey of time and its effects, emphasizing care or endearment (repeated from line 9).
Listen as minutes whisper what’s inside
