Carry On Children
Carry On Children: A Poetic Reflection on Life's Struggles and Hope
Lyrics
Carry on Children, your mother’s are watching
Encouragement to persevere, acknowledging maternal presence
You’re father’s are crying, it’s time we see
Fathers are emotionally affected, calling for awareness
There’s no denying, a truth is escaping
A truth is being overlooked or ignored
A life’s in the making, for you and me
Emphasizing the creation of a life, shared destiny
The man on the street mumbles sounds incoherent
Describing a disoriented man on the street
As he dines from the garbage can on a grate for some heat
Depiction of a destitute person resorting to unconventional means for survival
A newscaster spoke of some human disaster
Mention of a news report on a human catastrophe
Someone’s exposing himself to the weak
Reference to someone taking advantage of vulnerable individuals
Carry on Children, your mother’s are watching
Reiteration of the call for perseverance with maternal presence
You’re father’s are crying, it’s time we see
Highlighting paternal emotional response, emphasizing urgency
There’s no denying, a truth is escaping
Repeating the idea that a truth is being overlooked or denied
A life’s in the making, for you and me
Emphasizing the continuous creation of life's narratives
I think to myself I must find the beauty
Personal contemplation on finding beauty amid chaos
Inside this mess a cathedral awaits
Imagery of a cathedral symbolizing hope within the mess
Pray for the children who run from their homes
Expressing concern for runaway children engaged in risky behavior
Trading sins on the streets and lacking in faith
Reference to moral lapses and lack of faith in the streets
Carry on Children, your mother’s are watching
Reassuring persistence amid maternal observation
You’re father’s are crying, it’s time we see
Highlighting paternal emotional engagement, stressing urgency
There’s no denying, a truth is escaping
Reiterating the unnoticed or denied truth
A life’s in the making, for you and me
Emphasizing the continuous unfolding of life for everyone
I praise the dear saviour who was always with me
Acknowledging and praising a consistent guiding force
In my exploration in may yesterdays
Reflecting on personal exploration and past experiences
Asking forgiveness I dance to a new tune
Seeking forgiveness and embracing a new direction
Discovered while watching you slip away
Discovery and reflection triggered by someone's departure
Carry on Children, your mother’s are watching
Encouragement to persist, with maternal presence as a constant
You’re father’s are crying, it’s time we see
Expressing paternal emotional distress, urging immediate action
There’s no denying, a truth is escaping
Reiterating the unnoticed or ignored truth
A life’s in the making, for you and me
Stressing the ongoing creation of life's stories for all
The cats are still chasing the dog dreams asleep
Depicting a scene with animals, possibly symbolizing innocence and dreams
Her sounds had me waking I shuffle my feet
Awakening to sounds, perhaps influenced by external stimuli
And pick up the ballpoint that sits on the table
Picking up a ballpoint, anticipating the need for expression
Hope I am able to find something to say
Hoping to find words or meaning in the upcoming expression
Carry on Children, your mother’s are watching
Encouragement to persevere, with maternal oversight
You’re father’s are crying, it’s time we see
Highlighting paternal emotional response, emphasizing immediacy
There’s no denying, a truth is escaping
Repeating the theme of an overlooked or denied truth
A life’s in the making, for you and me
Emphasizing the ongoing creation of life, a collective journey
