Paper Chain
Unveiling Life's Paper Chains: A Melodic Tale of Reflection and Resilience
Lyrics
You did nothing wrong, and you did nothing right
You are not at fault, nor have you done everything perfectly
cnd you deserve a song, for putting up that fight
You deserve recognition for your struggles and resilience
You only go so far, before you realize
There's a limit to your progress before realizing...
What you thought was a star
What you believed to be a guiding star...
Is just a reflection in your eyes
...is merely a reflection in your own eyes
cnd it's just a paper chain
Comparing life to a fragile paper chain
Not much more I can explain
Difficult to explain, possibly delicate and easily broken
cnd time, it's marching on
Time is inexorably progressing
It's marching down all over me
Time's passage is weighing heavily
cnd chances they are gone
Opportunities have passed and are unrecoverable
cnd there's no gratuity
No extra rewards or acknowledgment for efforts
cnd it's just a paper chain
Life compared again to a fragile paper chain
Reinforcements made if pain
Strength is gained through enduring pain
cnd if I could spare you just one moment of it all I would
If possible, the speaker would spare you from hardship
cnd if I could save you just one tear you know, you know I would
If possible, the speaker would prevent you from shedding tears
But I know you know, I know you know, I know you know I can't, I can't
A recognition of limitations in helping, but understanding
But I understand
The speaker comprehends the situation
You did nothing wrong, and you did nothing right
Reiteration: You are not to blame, and you've fought valiantly
cnd you deserve a song, for fighting the good fight
You still deserve acknowledgment for your struggles
You don't really need a song because you are a song
Expressing the inherent value within, like a song
You have everything you need, you've had it all along
You possess all you need within yourself
But if you want a song I'll gladly give you this one and I hope,
If a song is desired, the speaker offers this one
I hope.... it's your song
An expression of hope that the song becomes significant to you
It's your song
Emphasizing that the song is yours, symbolic of your journey
