Grand Canyon
Navigating Distance: Emotions Amidst Vast Chasms
Lyrics
I've seen you calm the waters raging in the rivers of my mind
I've witnessed your ability to calm the turbulent thoughts in my mind.
Your spirit blows a breeze into my soul
Your spirit brings a refreshing breeze to my inner being.
And I've felt the fire that warms the heart
I have experienced the warmth of a fire in my heart, knowing it originates from you.
Knowing that it comes from you
Recognizing the source of the warmth, but sometimes allowing it to grow cold and unresponsive.
Then I've let it turn as cold as a stone
Letting the warmth and connection become as cold and lifeless as a stone.
Oh, sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow
At times, I feel an intimate closeness, like a shadow following closely.
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up at you
Other times, I feel distant, looking up to you with a sense of separation.
From the bottom of the Grand Canyon, so small and so far
Expressing a feeling of smallness and distance from a profound and majestic place, the Grand Canyon.
From the Grand Canyon with a hole in my heart
Feeling a void or emptiness in the heart while being at the Grand Canyon.
And I'm a long way from where I know I need to be
Being far from the place or state where one knows they should be.
And there's a Grand Canyon between you and me
Highlighting a significant emotional and spiritual gap between two individuals.
I've had the faith that gave me strength for moving any mountainside
Having faith that provided strength, particularly in facing challenges.
I've felt the solid ground beneath my feet
Experiencing a stable foundation beneath one's feet.
But I've had the bread of idleness while drinking from a well of doubt
However, succumbing to laziness and doubt, which deeply affects core beliefs.
And it shakes the core of all I believe
Acknowledging a shake in the foundations of personal beliefs.
Oh, sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow
Reiterating the feeling of closeness, akin to a shadow's proximity.
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up at you
Yet, feeling distant and looking upward with a sense of separation.
From the bottom of the Grand Canyon, so small and so far
Repeating the imagery of being at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, emphasizing smallness and distance.
From the Grand Canyon with a hole in my heart
Re-emphasizing a sense of emptiness or longing in the heart while being at the Grand Canyon.
And I'm a long way from where I know I need to be
Acknowledging a significant distance from the desired or needed state of being.
And there's a Grand Canyon between you and me
Highlighting the existence of a profound emotional and spiritual gap between the speaker and the addressed.
There's a Grand Canyon between you and me
Repeating the idea of a substantial gap or barrier between the two individuals.
Sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow
Expressing the paradoxical feeling of closeness as a shadow contrasted with a sense of distance and separation.
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up at you
Reiterating the sense of looking up with a feeling of separation.
From the bottom of the Grand Canyon, so small and so far
Repeating the imagery of being at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, emphasizing smallness and distance.
From the Grand Canyon with a hole in my heart
Re-emphasizing a sense of emptiness or longing in the heart while being at the Grand Canyon.
And I'm a long way from where I know I need to be
Acknowledging a significant distance from the desired or needed state of being.
And there's a Grand Canyon between you and me
Highlighting the persistent existence of a profound emotional and spiritual gap between the speaker and the addressed.
And there's a Grand, Grand Canyon between you and me
Repeating the idea of a substantial gap or barrier between the two individuals, emphasizing its grand scale.
