So Will I Be
Embracing Life's Radiance: So Will I Be by Ian Carrick
Lyrics
Hello sun
Greeting the sun with a positive acknowledgment
It's good to see you
Expressing pleasure at the sight of the sun
And you're looking
Commenting on the sun's brightness
Bright today
Noting the sun's radiance today
And I know
Acknowledging personal awareness
As bright as you are
Comparing personal brightness to the sun's
So will I be
Expressing the intent to be as bright as the sun in one's own way
In my own way
Emphasizing individuality in achieving brightness
Hello sky
Greeting the sky in a positive manner
It's good to see you
Expressing joy at the clear sky
And you're looking
Commenting on the clarity of the sky today
Clear today
Observing the clear and unclouded sky
And I know
Acknowledging personal clarity
As clear as you are
Comparing personal clarity to the clear sky
So will I be
Expressing the intent to be as clear as the sky in one's own way
In my own way
Emphasizing individuality in achieving clarity
Hello tree
Greeting a tree with positivity
It's good to see you
Expressing pleasure at the sight of the tree
And you're standing
Commenting on the tree's height
Tall today
Noting the tree's towering presence today
And I know
Acknowledging personal stature
As tall as you stand
Comparing personal height to the standing tree
So will I stand
Expressing the intent to stand as tall as the tree in one's own way
In my own way
Emphasizing individuality in achieving height
Hello river
Greeting a river with positivity
It's good to see you
Expressing joy at the sight of the river
And you're running
Commenting on the river's strength
Strong today
Noting the river's powerful flow today
And I know
Acknowledging personal strength
Strong as you run
Comparing personal strength to the river's flow
So will I run
Expressing the intent to run as strongly as the river in one's own way
In my own way
Emphasizing individuality in achieving strength
And you can sing
Encouraging the freedom to sing any words
Any words that you want
Expressing that the song is dedicated to the listener
Because this song
Acknowledging awareness of the listener's words
Is for you today
Stating that the song is presented for the listener's enjoyment today
And I know
Acknowledging awareness of the listener's sung words
The words that you sing
Expressing the intent to sing in one's own way
So will I sing
Emphasizing individuality in singing
In my own way
Reiterating the intent to sing in a personalized manner
