Lyrics
Down on a flexible flyer
Expressing the experience of riding a flexible flyer, a type of sled.
To the bottom how fast I would go
Reflecting on the speed and excitement of descending to the bottom.
Just waiting for me under the tree
Anticipation of a gift under the Christmas tree.
And out in the snow
Highlighting the snowy winter setting.
A cowboy, a nurse or a fireman
Listing various career aspirations or roles one can choose.
There's so many things that you can be
Emphasizing the multitude of possibilities in life.
You can set bigger goals, but set your soul
Encouraging setting ambitious goals while staying true to oneself.
Set your soul free
Advocating for spiritual or personal liberation.
Times, places and situations
Warning about the potential negative consequences of certain choices.
Leads to an early grave
Implying that certain actions may lead to an untimely death.
When we get there we see
Reflecting on the outcomes when reaching the end of one's life.
What did we save?
Raising the question of what is truly valuable or saved in life.
If your heart is a flame burning brightly
Using metaphorical language to describe a passionate and vibrant heart.
You'll have light and you'll never be cold
Suggesting that a passionate heart provides warmth and vitality.
And soon you will know that you just grow
Asserting that personal growth and vitality continue throughout life.
You're not growing old
Rejecting the notion of growing old in a negative sense.
Times, places and situations
Reiterating the idea that certain choices may lead to a premature death.
Leads to an early grave
Continuing the theme of questioning the outcomes of life choices.
When we get there we see
Reflecting on the consequences when approaching the end of life.
Just what did we save?
Pondering what has been preserved or saved in the journey of life.
Times, places and situations
Repeating the cautionary theme about choices leading to an early demise.
Leads to an early grave
Emphasizing the potential negative outcomes of life's journey.
When we get there we see
Reiterating the reflection on what is saved or lost in life.
Just what did we save?
Prompting consideration of the consequences at life's end.
If the wheels of your wagon are rusty
Using a wagon metaphor to describe one's life, with rusty wheels symbolizing stagnation.
You can paint them until they are new
Suggesting that one can rejuvenate or improve their life situation.
You can roll down a hill, but if you can't
Encouraging taking risks or facing challenges, even if difficult.
Then I pity you
Expressing empathy for those who cannot take risks or face challenges.
