The White Cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow's Promise: Peace and Hope Beyond the White Cliffs
Lyrics
There'll be bluebirds over
Anticipation of positive change or hope for a better future.
The white cliffs of Dover
Symbolic reference to the iconic white cliffs representing a place of optimism.
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
Expressing confidence in the occurrence of positive events in the future.
There'll be love and laughter
Expectation of love and joy to prevail.
And peace ever after
Envisioning a state of tranquility and harmony enduring indefinitely.
Tomorrow, when the world is free
Associating the promised positive changes with a liberated world.
The shepherd will tend his sheep
Imagining a return to a pastoral, idyllic life where the shepherd tends to his flock.
The valley will bloom again
Foreseeing the revival of nature and prosperity in the valley.
And Jimmy will go to sleep
Highlighting the notion of normalcy, with a child (Jimmy) going to sleep in his room.
In his own little room again
Emphasizing the return to a secure and familiar routine for individuals.
There'll be bluebirds over
Reiteration of the hopeful image of bluebirds as a symbol of happiness.
The white cliffs of Dover
Reaffirmation of the positive association with the white cliffs of Dover.
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
Restating the confidence in the realization of positive changes in the future.
The shepherd will tend his sheep
Reiterating the pastoral imagery with the shepherd tending to his sheep.
The valley will bloom again
Re-emphasizing the renewal of nature and prosperity in the valley.
And Jimmy will go to sleep
Echoing the return to a secure and familiar routine for Jimmy.
In his own little room again
Repeating the comforting image of Jimmy going to sleep in his room.
There'll be bluebirds over
Reiteration of hope symbolized by the presence of bluebirds.
The white cliffs of Dover
Reaffirmation of the positive symbolism associated with the white cliffs of Dover.
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
Reiterating the confidence in the anticipated positive changes in the future.
