The light is coming soon

Don’t let your heart get used to sadness

Put your hope in what is true

No matter how the wind may blow

Regardless of challenges, the strength of the sun (hope) remains constant.

It cannot shake the sun

It’s time to come back home

When the future seems uncertain

Like the coming of a storm

Compares uncertainty to an impending storm, a challenging period.

Your loving Father carries his children

Assurance that a caring father supports his children during tough times.

When they can’t walk anymore

No matter how the wind may blow

It cannot shake the sun

Reiterates that difficulties cannot diminish the enduring positivity.

Lay your sorrows on the ground

It’s time to come back home

Oh, back home…
