Some Things I Know
Eternal Truths in Melody: Some Things I Know
Lyrics
There's some things I know to be true
Expressing certainty about certain truths
Snow is white and the ocean is blue
Using simple examples to highlight undeniable facts
Rain is wet when it falls from the sky
Stating the obvious, emphasizing the reality of rain
And the stars come out every night
Highlighting the regularity of stars appearing at night
Just as I'm sure the sun will rise
Comparing the certainty of love to the sunrise
This love is real you see in my eyes
Asserting the authenticity of the speaker's love through eyes
Plant a seed and it will grow
Metaphorically linking the growth of love to planting a seed
Some things I know
Summarizing the certainties in life, encapsulating the chorus
There's some things in life I need
Listing essential needs in life
Water to drink and air to breathe
Emphasizing basic necessities for survival
A place to rest when I need sleep
Desiring a place for rest and rejuvenation
When I'm hungry food to eat
Expressing the basic human need for sustenance
Sure as I need the Lord above
Affirming the spiritual need for guidance and support
That's how much I need your love
Comparing the necessity of love to other essential needs
Like I need shelter from the cold
Desiring emotional shelter from life's challenges
Some things I know
Reiterating the certainties in life, echoing the chorus
More and more I realize
Reflecting on the increasing awareness of life's blessings
How every day you bless my life
Expressing gratitude for daily blessings
There's some things in life I want
Listing personal desires in life
A house with a porch and trees out front
Desiring a home with specific features
Someone to talk to; someone to hold
Expressing the need for companionship and intimacy
And walk with as we grow old
Longing for a lifelong partner
And I want all my dreams to come true
Expressing personal aspirations and dreams
And I want them all with you
Desiring to share dreams with a loved one
And I just had to tell you so
Declaring the necessity of expressing these feelings
Some things I know
Reiterating the importance of certain knowledge
I just had to tell you so
Repeating the declaration of necessity
Some things I know
Emphasizing the enduring nature of certain truths
