Afterwhile
Finding Love's Wisdom: Afterwhile by Joseff McKenneth
Lyrics
I believe in love
I have faith in the concept of love.
I believe in us
I believe in our relationship.
Yet I don't get it right sometimes
Occasionally, I struggle to understand it.
And I end up losing sight sometimes
At times, I lose focus and perspective.
It's truly a gift from above
Love is a divine blessing.
And with this I know I can trust
This belief allows me to have faith.
That I'll get over all this hurt
I will eventually overcome this pain.
I'll get over all this pain
I will surpass this emotional suffering.
Strong enough to know my worth
I possess the strength to acknowledge my value.
Long enough to love again
I've experienced enough to love once more.
It will all make sense
Eventually, everything will make sense.
Afterwhile, afterwhile, afterwhile
Over time, clarity will prevail.
It will all make sense
Things will become clear after a while.
Afterwhile, afterwhile, afterwhile
With time, understanding will emerge.
How long is it gonna take?
How much time will this process require?
What moves am I gonna make?
What decisions do I need to make?
Is this just a season?
Is this a temporary phase?
And is it all for a reason?
Is there significance behind these experiences?
I don't really mind the wait
I'm patient about moving on from my past.
To get over where I've been
Recovering from my history is necessary.
All I know it's not too late
I still have time to find love.
Love will be here in the end
In the end, love will prevail.
It will all make sense
Eventually, the puzzle will be solved.
Afterwhile, afterwhile, afterwhile
After some time, clarity will emerge.
It will al make sense
Understanding will arise eventually.
Afterwhile, afterwhile, afterwhile
Over time, things will become clear.
525,600 minutes
A reference to the number of minutes in a year from the musical 'Rent'.
How do you measure a year in the life?
How do you measure the significance of a year?
(What about love?)
Love's role in measuring time.
525,600 minutes
Reiteration of the duration of a year.
How do you measure, measure a year?
What is the metric for assessing a year?
It will all make sense
Eventually, understanding will prevail.
Afterwhile, afterwhile, afterwhile
Over time, clarity will emerge.
It will all make sense
Things will become clear after a while.
Afterwhile, afterwhile, afterwhile
With time, understanding will emerge.
525,600 minutes
A repetition of the duration of a year.
How do you measure a year in the life?
How do you measure the significance of a year?
525,600 minutes
Reiteration of the duration of a year.
Afterwhile, afterwhile...
Eventually, things will become clear.
