Lyrics
They tell me miracles abound now more than ever, but I don't care.
Indifference towards the abundance of miracles, emphasizing a personal perspective.
They say its better to be blessed than it is to be clever, but I don't care.
Preference for blessings over cleverness is dismissed, suggesting a disregard for conventional wisdom.
Cause I got 10 miles to go on a 9 mile road, and its a rocky rough
Expressing a challenging journey, symbolized by a 10-mile path on a 9-mile road that is rocky and rough.
Road, but I don't care.
Reiteration of the indifference towards difficulties on the journey.
For lifes nothing if not a blind rambling prayer, you
Life is compared to a blind rambling prayer, emphasizing uncertainty and unpredictability.
Keep your head held high, awalking and atalking
Encouragement to persevere, walking with determination, relying on the power of love for deliverance.
Til the power of Love deliver you there.
-The power of love deliver you there.
Repetition of the importance of the power of love in overcoming challenges and reaching the destination.
The power of love deliver you there.
-The power of Love deliver you...you...
-You don't get nothing for free, less of course you steal it,
Reflection on the cost of obtaining things, with a hint of skepticism towards societal norms.
At least that's what the people say.
Acknowledgment of the perception that nothing is free, echoing common beliefs.
The sad irony of Love is how so seldom you feel it,
Highlighting the irony of love being elusive, yet a constant source of aspiration.
Yet its all you dream about, night and day.
-From the splinter in the hand, to the thorn in the heart,
Illustrating the inevitability of pain and the necessity to find solace to avoid cynicism or despair.
To the shotgun to the head, you got no choice
-But to learn to glean solace from pain or you'll end up cynical or dead.
-Me, I got 10 miles to go on a 9 mile road
Reiteration of the challenging journey, emphasizing indifference to obstacles.
And its a rocky rough road, but I don't care.
-For life's nothing if not a blind rambling prayer,
-you keep your head held high,
Advising to maintain resilience and determination despite the challenges in life.
A'walking and a'talking and a'talking and a'walking,
Emphasis on the power of love as a guiding force, repeated for emphasis.
Til the power of Love deliver you there.
-The power of Love deliver you there.
-The power of Love deliver you there.
-The power of Love deliver you, there!
-Sometimes you throw yourself into the sea of faith,
Metaphorical references to faith, doubt, and self-discovery, emphasizing uncertainties in life's journey.
And the sharks of doubt come and they devour you.
-Other times you throw yourself into the sea of faith
-Only to find the treasure lost in the shipwreck inside of you!
-There ain't no guarantee, none of that nonsense like on tv,
Rejecting guarantees and advocating for taking risks in life, using dice as a metaphor.
Just gotta roll the dice and take your lumps.
-You're gonna get yourself knocked down,
Encouraging resilience after setbacks, advising to stand back up and not let sorrow dominate.
So better learn to stand back up,
-For those who dwell on disaster let sorrow be their master.
-Me, I got 10 miles to go on a 9 mile road
Final repetition of the challenging journey, reinforcing the theme of indifference to hardships.
And its a rocky rough road, but I don't care.
-Cause life's nothing if not a
