Journey to Freedom: Every River's Message of Independence and Love
Lyrics
I walk my own way and seize my own fortune
I choose my own path and create my own destiny
There's nothing I'm affording to lean upon
I don't rely on anything for support or guidance
Looking back we were wild and we were free
Reflecting on the past when we were carefree and untamed
Every river must meet the sea
Metaphorically stating that all journeys must reach their destination
She plays her own hand
She handles her own situation
And she looks her own way
She follows her own unique path
I was always coming
Expressing the inevitability of his arrival
Just running a little late
Admitting to being a little late in reaching his destination
Then she said goodbye
A farewell from the other person
She said it so sweet
The goodbye was tender or affectionate
Guess every river
Reiterating the idea that every journey has an end
Must meet the sea
Reaffirming the concept that all things have a conclusion
If I could then I would
Expressing a desire to stay longer if possible
Stay for another
Choosing another path or destination
But I've got some other place to be
Acknowledging other commitments and places to go
Don't you cry for me baby
Asking not to feel sorrow for leaving
Every river must meet the sea
Reiterating the inevitability of reaching a conclusion
I'll do my best
Commitment to doing one's best and moving forward
And get on with this living
Continuing with life without seeking forgiveness
Won't ask for no forgiveness
Not expecting forgiveness if not asked for
If you don't ask it of me
Willingness to take risks and be vulnerable
And I'll roll with the dice
Accepting uncertainty and abandoning defenses
And I will lay down my defences
Every person needs a comforting place to be
'Cause every man needs some warm place to be
Expressing a desire to restart if possible
If I could then I would
Repeating the desire to go back and start anew
Start it all over
Love is not as significant as freedom
But being in love don't mean as much as being free
Requesting not to feel pity for leaving
So don't you cry for me baby
Reaffirming the inevitability of reaching a conclusion
Every river must meet the sea
Reiterating the idea that all journeys meet their end
In years to come
Looking to the future
I want you to write me a long love letter
Desiring a detailed expression of love in the form of a letter
About the people you met
About the people encountered and places visited
And all the places that you've been
Seeking understanding through shared experiences
Maybe then, we'll understand it so much better
Hoping for a deeper understanding in the future
Once both our rivers have seen the sea
Metaphorically, understanding each other after experiencing life
If I could then I would
Repeating the desire to go back and start anew
Start it all over
Emphasizing the importance of freedom over love
But being in love don't mean as much as being free
Requesting not to feel pity for leaving
So don't you cry for me baby
Reiterating the inevitability of reaching a conclusion
Every river must meet the sea
Final statement affirming the universal journey's end
