Hopeful Song
Embracing Tomorrow: A Hopeful Symphony by Going to the Sun
Lyrics
Have I grown up, have I grown older
Reflecting on personal growth and aging
Have I gone south, have I grown colder
Considering if becoming emotionally distant
Have I become predictable
Questioning if one's actions have become expected or routine
A story told a hundred times before
Feeling like a familiar, oft-repeated story
Have I gone soft, have I gone over
Exploring vulnerability and potential softening of character
Two wheels hanging off the shoulder
Imagery of a precarious situation, contemplating risk
Have I become predictable
Reiterating the fear of being predictable
A story told a hundred times before
Emphasizing the repetitiveness of one's life story
Oh, somebody sing a song
Expressing a desire for someone to sing a positive song
Oh, of better days to come
Hoping for better times in the future
‘Cause I know this isn’t right
Acknowledging a sense of wrongdoing or dissatisfaction
You can’t hold back the light for very long
Believing that positivity cannot be suppressed for long
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight
Encouraging the singing of a hopeful song
Another year, another season
Reflecting on the passage of time, anticipating change
To find the hope beyond the reason
Seeking hope beyond rationality or logic
Of byways that will carry me
Contemplating journeys to unfamiliar places
To places that I haven’t known before
Desiring exploration and new experiences
Could I have faith in happy endings
Questioning the possibility of positive outcomes
A hundred seeds with patents pending
Imagining potential success with awaiting opportunities
A driver who will carry me
Seeking a guide or support through challenging times
From rocky roads to sunny golden shores
Envisioning a journey from difficulty to happiness
Oh, somebody sing a song
Repeating the desire for a hopeful song
Oh, of better days to come
Reiterating the call for optimism
‘Cause I know this isn’t right
Acknowledging the current situation isn't ideal
You can’t hold back the light for very long
Asserting that positivity cannot be suppressed for long
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight
Encouraging the singing of a hopeful song
Somebody sing it, somebody sing it
Repeated call for someone to sing a hopeful song
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight
Reiterating the request for a positive melody
I’ve got to hear it, I’ve got to have it
Expressing urgency and eagerness to hear the hopeful song
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight
Encouraging the singing of a hopeful song
Somebody sing it, somebody sing it
Repeated call for someone to sing a hopeful song
Somebody sing a hopeful song
Emphasizing the importance of a positive melody
Could I survive my A.D.D
Questioning the ability to cope with Attention Deficit Disorder
Long enough to count to three
Wondering about personal stability and focus
Stay in one place long enough
Reflecting on the challenge of staying in one place
To watch a garden come out of this ground
Anticipating growth and positive transformation
Could I get up, could I get better
Expressing a desire for personal improvement
Could I have faith in sunny weather
Questioning the possibility of believing in better times
Let’s light the night on fire
Symbolic call to illuminate the night with positivity
And laugh at the shadows that surround
Facing and laughing at challenges and difficulties
Oh, somebody sing a song
Repeating the desire for someone to sing a positive song
Oh, of better days to come
Reiterating the call for optimism
‘Cause I know this isn’t right
Acknowledging the current situation isn't ideal
You can’t hold back the light for very long
Asserting that positivity cannot be suppressed for long
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight
Encouraging the singing of a hopeful song
