Sunrise, Sunset
Time's Dance: Embracing Life's Transitions Through 'Sunrise, Sunset'
Lyrics
Is this the little girl I carried?
Reflecting on how the girl he once carried has grown.
Is this the little boy at play?
Similar reflection on the boy who used to play.
I don't remember growing older,
Expressing surprise at not realizing one's own aging.
When did they?
Rhetorical question about when the children grew older.
When did she get to be a beauty?
Wondering when the girl turned into a beautiful woman.
When did he grow to be so tall?
Surprised at the boy's growth into a tall man.
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Recollection of how recently they seemed small.
Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset,
Reflecting on the passage of time marked by sunrises and sunsets.
Swiftly flow the days.
Commenting on how swiftly days pass.
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Metaphorically comparing growth to seedlings becoming sunflowers.
Blossoming even as we gaze.
Noting how things evolve and flourish quickly.
Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset,
Reiterating the passage of time through sunrises and sunsets.
Swiftly fly the years.
Highlighting how swiftly the years pass.
One season following another,
Describing the cycle of seasons, each carrying its own mix of joy and sorrow.
Laden with happiness and tears.
Emphasizing the blend of happiness and sorrow in each season.
What words of wisdom can I give them?
Contemplating what advice or guidance to offer the grown children.
How can I help to ease their way?
Desire to assist and support their journey through life.
Now they must learn from one another,
Recognizing that now they must learn from their own experiences.
Day by day.
Emphasizing the importance of daily learning and growth.
They look so natural together,
Observing the natural harmony between the children as a newlywed couple.
Just like two newlyweds should be.
Wondering about his own future in relation to theirs.
Is there a canopy in store for me?
Reflecting on the passage of time again.
Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset,
Repeated reflection on the passing of time through sunrises and sunsets.
Swiftly fly the years.
Highlighting the swift passage of years.
One season following another,
Reiterating the cycle of seasons, each with its share of joy and sorrow.
Laden with happiness and tears.
Emphasizing the continuous mix of happiness and sorrow in life.
