Getting There
Journey Within: Embracing Life's Miles and Mountains
Lyrics
You can't trade your shoes til they've been split
You can't trade your experiences until they've been through hardships.
You can't sing the blues until you've known it
You can't truly express sorrow until you've experienced it.
And you can't count the miles before you've been anywhere
You can't measure the journey until you've actually traveled.
All the while, never arriving, only getting there.
Despite the journey, the destination remains elusive; it's about the process of 'getting there.'
You can't change a memory in time
You can't alter the past; memories are fixed.
You can't stop the world on a dime
You can't control time or circumstances abruptly.
You've never lost, if you consider your life fair
Life isn't a loss if you view it as equitable and just.
All the while, never arriving, only getting there.
Regardless of progress, the destination remains elusive; it's about the ongoing journey.
Only getting there, only getting there
Emphasizing the continuous process of 'getting there.'
I'm never arriving, always getting there
Personal affirmation of never fully reaching a final destination but continuously progressing.
Only getting there, only getting there
Reiteration of the ongoing nature of the journey.
I'm never arriving, always getting there
Reaffirmation of the singer's perpetual state of 'getting there.'
No matter the mountain that stands tall
Challenges are unknown until faced; referencing life's obstacles.
You never know until you've climbed them all
Understanding comes only after overcoming various challenges.
On the other side, you may find it lying there
After overcoming obstacles, the reward may be found unexpectedly.
All the while, never arriving, only getting there.
Reiteration of the journey's significance over the destination.
Only getting there, only getting there
Stressing the continuous process of 'getting there.'
I'm never arriving, always getting there
Personal affirmation of never fully reaching a final destination but continuously progressing.
Only getting there, only getting there
Reiteration of the ongoing nature of the journey.
I'm never arriving, always getting there.
Reaffirmation of the singer's perpetual state of 'getting there.'
I'm never arriving, always getting there.
A concluding statement emphasizing the perpetual nature of progress.
