Days
Embracing Nature's Blessings: Jon Anderson's 'Days' Meaning
Lyrics
This song of evening's light
This song celebrates the light of the evening.
Would charge my memory to flight
The music invokes memories and takes them on a journey.
The trees that listen
The trees are portrayed as attentive listeners.
Swift wings do carry on through constant
Swift wings carry something through unchanging gardens.
Gardens they offer delight
The gardens present constant delight.
It is the evening
The setting is in the evening.
In deepest woods and fern
Within deep woods and ferns.
Young deer step light through morning's mist
Young deer move lightly through morning mist.
Ascend the swallows
Swallows ascend as the day begins.
First light streams through the treetops
First light penetrates the treetops, bouncing off flowers.
Bouncing as the flowers illuminate
Flowers illuminate, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
The breath of morning
The morning breath is felt.
This song of ages past
The song reflects on ages past.
I lay in peace midst grass so green
Peace is found lying in green grass.
To reach to skyward
Aspiring to reach upward.
Where larks do sing such high delights
Larks sing with high delights in the sky.
Do pour into my senses
Sensory experiences are enriched by these delights.
The days are blessings
The days are viewed as blessings.
The days are blessings
Reiteration emphasizes the positivity of days.
The days are blessings
The days are consistently seen as blessings.
