Turning Trees
Turning Trees: A Journey of Resilience and Transformation
Lyrics
I have fallen from a great height
I have experienced a significant fall.
Will I ever hit the ground?
Uncertainty about reaching a bottom or resolution.
But pick me up before I fall back down again
Request for assistance before facing another setback.
Time is dwindling, my friend
Awareness of limited time available.
Time is dwindling, my friend
Reiteration of the urgency regarding time.
These hands are chiselled to the bone
Hard work reflected in physically worn hands.
Speak of things you'll never know
Discussing unknown or unexperienced aspects of life.
Only time will tell where things go
Emphasis on the unpredictable nature of the future.
Turning trees into stone
Metaphorically transforming nature (trees) into something enduring (stone).
Turning trees into stone
Repetition of the transformative process.
Build a bridge on our own terms
Constructing a path or connection based on personal terms.
Overcome the water below
Overcoming challenges represented by the water below.
These things were meant for our purpose
Belief in the meaningfulness of certain experiences or objects.
I choose to shape them so
Choosing to shape and influence one's circumstances.
These hands are chiselled to the bone
Reiteration of hard work and dedication in one's actions.
They speak of things you'll never know
Referencing the unknown aspects of life once again.
Only time will tell where things go
Emphasis on the unpredictability of the future.
Turning trees into stone
Repetition of the metaphorical transformation of trees into stone.
Turning trees into stone
Continuation of the transformative process.
These hands are chiselled to the bone
Restating the physical toll of hard work on hands.
Speak of things you'll never know
Revisiting the discussion of unknown aspects of life.
Only time will tell where things go
Reiterating the unpredictable nature of the future.
Turning trees into stone
Repetition of the metaphorical transformation of trees into stone.
Turning trees into stone
Conclusion of the transformative process.
