Greener Pastures
Journey to Greener Pastures: Jesse Malin's Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
Waking up in Dallas
Starting the day in Dallas
And the lights are low and dim
Surrounded by a subdued and dim atmosphere
We all want somewhere to begin
Desire for a starting point in life
I sent for my prescription
Ordering medication, still waiting for it
But it hasn't shown up yet
Prescription hasn't arrived yet
I'll know the feeling when it does
Anticipating the experience when it does
Greener pastures always wait for you
Hopeful perspective, better opportunities are always available
Tell the story one more time
Repetition of a personal story
What you ask for starry-eyed and blue
Desiring something with optimism despite challenges
You can make it if you try
Encouragement that success is achievable through effort
I went to see a movie
Watching a popular movie that invokes self-reflection
That everybody liked
Movie liked by everyone
Made me wish I was a better guy
Desire to be a better person triggered by the movie
I'm waiting on a vision
Expecting a revelation or insight
But it hasn't shown up yet
Still waiting for the awaited vision
We all know the river's gonna rise
Awareness of inevitable challenges in life
Greener pastures always wait for you
Positive outlook, emphasizing better opportunities
Tell the story one more time
Reiteration of sharing personal experiences
What you ask for starry-eyed and blue
Asking for something with hope and vulnerability
You can make it if you try
Assurance that success is possible with effort
I lost a friend this morning
Mourning the loss of a friend
Well I just saw them last week
Recent encounter with the friend adds to the emotional impact
This fragile world's so bittersweet
Reflecting on the fragile and bittersweet nature of life
I'm waiting on an answer
Anticipating an answer but still waiting
But it hasn't shown up yet
Desire for a meaningful explanation or resolution
We all want a reason to believe
Shared longing for a reason to believe in
Greener pastures always wait for you
Reiteration of hope for better opportunities
You can make it tonight
Assurance that success can be achieved tonight
La la la la la la la la la
Repetition of a comforting melody or chorus
La la la la la la la la la
-La la la la la la la la la
-La la la la la la
