Lyrics
Before the stream became a rivers
Reflecting on a time before a small stream transformed into a river.
Before the river changed its course
Contemplating a period when the course of the river underwent change.
There was a time when lazy waters
Recalling a time when calm waters were young enough to be crossed easily.
Were young enough to cross
Expressing nostalgia for a time when challenges seemed more manageable.
But now it seems so hard for me to find
Struggling to find something valuable that was once thought to be constant.
The one thing that I though was always mine
Expressing difficulty in retaining or rediscovering a presumed constant.
Looking for the light
Searching for a light, possibly a symbol of hope or guidance from the past.
Looking for the light
-Looking for the light I used to know
-When I was young I felt the wind blow
Recalling fearless experiences of youth, emphasizing trust in emotions and new experiences.
Climbed the high tree saw the birds eye view
-Wasn't afraid to trust my feelings
-When all my ways were new
-But certainty's a stranger to me now
Acknowledging a lack of certainty in the present, contrasting with the confidence of youth.
I'm in the shadows on the edge of town
Feeling obscured and on the outskirts of familiarity.
Looking for the light
Continuing the search for a lost light, possibly representing a sense of direction or purpose.
Looking for the light
-Looking for the light I used to know
-Now my joy is mixed with sadness
Describing a complex emotional state, where joy coexists with sadness, comfort with pain, and a persistent dream remains unchanged despite limited time.
Now my comfort is laced with pain
-And though my time is getting shorter
-The dream is just the same
-Looking for the light
Persisting in the quest for the elusive light, emphasizing its importance in the past.
Looking for the light
-Looking for the light I used to know
-Looking for the light
Reiterating the ongoing search for the tender light of home, suggesting a longing for a place of comfort and belonging.
Looking for the light
-Looking for the tender light of home
