Expanding
Embracing Change: A Journey of Growth and Determination
Lyrics
Dear old mother
Expressing affection and addressing the speaker's mother.
I'm gonna make you very proud
Commitment to achieving something significant to make the mother proud.
But dear old father
Reference to the father, who seems skeptical or unsupportive.
He don't believe that anyhow
Suggesting the father's disbelief or lack of faith in the speaker's goals.
I'm growing older
Acknowledging the passage of time and aging.
Still at the same old job
Indicating continuity in the same job over time.
'Cause I need the money
Mentioning the necessity to work for financial reasons.
Oooh I wish I had enough
Expressing a desire for more financial stability.
Time and time again
Emphasizing a recurring theme or situation.
I don't know when
Uncertainty about when a change will occur.
I don't know how, but somehow
Confusion about the process of change but a determination to achieve it.
Turn on the tellie
Suggesting a shift to watching television, perhaps as a form of escape.
Come home very late at night
Returning home late, indicating a busy and tiring schedule.
So goddamn tired
Expressing exhaustion after a long day.
But full with plans tonight
Despite fatigue, the speaker is filled with plans or aspirations for the night.
But I go on dreaming
Continuing to dream and maintain optimism.
And sleep the whole night through
Reference to sleeping peacefully through the night.
One day I'll change
Expressing a realization of the need for personal change.
'Cause I know I have to
Commitment to making positive changes.
Making it work this time
Striving to make current efforts successful.
And if I got some time aside
Alluding to having limited free time.
I use it with all my might
Determined use of available time to its fullest potential.
I use it to grow further
Utilizing time for personal growth and development.
Making it anyway
Commitment to making progress regardless of challenges.
Gonna make it anyhow
Expressing determination to succeed despite obstacles.
Gonna make it this time around
Belief in achieving success in the current endeavor.
Expanding
Using the term "Expanding" to suggest personal growth and progress.
Ooh Lord I'll be expanding
Expressing a hopeful and positive outlook on the future.
