Safety in Self
Embracing Change: Finding New Safety in Self
Lyrics
Once again we're reminded of how it all will end
Reflection on the inevitability of the end.
And we've outgrown illusion
Acknowledging that illusions have been surpassed.
We can no longer pretend
We can no longer deceive ourselves.
But it wasn't long ago
Recalling a recent time when things were different.
Our chins in the air
Remembering a confident and proud stance.
Within the safety of home
Feeling secure within the confines of home.
We were bound for anywhere
Past unity and purpose in going anywhere.
The only thing that we all had in common was you
Unity centered around a common figure (possibly 'you').
And now you've moved on
The central figure has moved on, leaving a void.
And there isn't anything we can do
Helplessness in the face of the figure's departure.
But it wasn't long ago
Recalling a time when everyone was together.
We were all gathered 'round
A shared moment of gathering.
This house was a home
Home symbolized happiness and togetherness.
Happiness was found
Emphasizing the past joy found in that home.
Now we must find a new safety in self
Advising to find security within oneself.
And implement all that we've learned
Applying learned lessons in the present.
Now is the time to find our own wealth
Encouraging self-reliance and independence.
And stand on our own
Stressing personal growth and autonomy.
So much we have grown
Acknowledging substantial development from the influence of 'you.'
From knowing you
Expressing gratitude for the teachings of 'you.'
I know this loss was intended
Recognizing the intended purpose behind the loss.
To let us all begin
Highlighting the opportunity for a new beginning.
And to give up now would be a sin
Resisting the temptation to give up despite challenges.
We can't fall down
Urging resilience and perseverance.
We've got to keep marching
Emphasizing the need to keep moving forward.
But it wasn't long ago
Recalling a recent time of ease and comfort.
We were all at ease
A time when everyone felt at ease.
Headed for home
Heading home with a sense of victory over challenges.
Thought we had beat this disease
Believing that a threat has been overcome.
And it wasn't long ago
Living with the hope of permanence and safety at home.
That we lived with the prayer
Living with the belief that 'you' will always be present at home.
That in the safety of home
Emphasizing the safety associated with home.
You would always be there
Coping with the absence of 'you' and seeking internal security.
Now we must find a new safety in self
Reiterating the need to find safety within oneself.
And all that you taught is returned
Applying the teachings of 'you' in current circumstances.
Now is the time to find our own wealth
Encouraging the pursuit of personal success and fulfillment.
And finish what's begun before our days are done
Highlighting the importance of staying true to oneself.
We must be true
Reiterating the need to find internal security.
Now we must find a new safety in self
Focusing on living a life deserving of 'you.'
And live all the life you deserved
Emphasizing the importance of seizing the present moment.
And now is the time to find our own wealth
Encouraging the pursuit of personal success and fulfillment.
Though we're not made of stone
Acknowledging human vulnerabilities and the need for companionship.
Or meant to be alone
Learning the importance of connection from 'you.'
I've learned this to from you
Expressing gratitude for the lessons learned.
