To Survive
Embracing Resilience: To Survive in the Haunted House of Life
Lyrics
Sleep now, little one
Soothing a child to sleep
I'll sing to you, little one
Expressing care through a lullaby
There's no one here
Assuring safety in the environment
Who means you any harm, little one
Reiterating protection for the child
I know what it means to be sad
Understanding the emotion of sadness
It never goes
Sadness persists over time
So learn to hold it close
Suggesting to embrace and endure sadness
As a friend
Viewing sadness as a companion
'Cause we never know
Uncertainty about one's resilience
How much we can take
Capacity to endure challenges
Before we break
Potential breaking point under pressure
The spell in our haunted house
Challenging moments in life
I've never felt alone
Feeling isolated and lonely
Like I do now, this moment
Intense sense of solitude in the present
I don't belong here at all
Sense of not belonging
Must find the spark to go on
Search for motivation to continue
Little one 'cause I owe it to us
Obligation to nurture oneself
To tend the fire and fend off fear
Taking responsibility for personal well-being
The fear in me so near to me
Proximity of personal fears
It never goes so learn to let it in
Suggesting acceptance of fear
Like the rain 'cause we never know
Comparing challenges to rain
How much we can take
Unknown threshold for adversity
Before the storm breaks
Anticipation of a breaking point
The storm of our wild design
Reference to life's unpredictable nature
I've never felt this way
Unfamiliar emotional state
Or maybe I do everyday
Reflecting on the challenges of daily life
What is this gift to be alive
Appreciation for the gift of life
Must find the spark, the spark to survive
Emphasizing the need to find resilience
