Freedom To Stay
Discovering Home: A Journey Through 'Freedom To Stay'
Lyrics
Tied my bandana, took my pack from the floor
Tying the bandana and picking up the pack, preparing to leave.
You were still sleepin', as I stood at the door
The partner is still sleeping while the narrator is about to leave.
Once more I was headin' to God only knows where
Heading out to an unknown destination once again.
That's when it hit me, I was already there
Realization that the sense of purpose or fulfillment is already present.
I could ramble a thousand miles or more
Expressing a willingness to travel extensively.
Never find the light I've seen in your eyes before
Unable to find the same profound connection in the eyes of others.
You gave me the freedom to go on my own way
Acknowledging the partner for granting the freedom to pursue individual paths.
Ah, but you gave me much more, I had the freedom to stay
Highlighting that beyond the freedom to leave, there's the choice to stay.
Why keep on runnin' just to wish on a star?
Raising a question about the purpose of constant wandering.
Searching for Heaven, when I know where you are
Acknowledging that the partner embodies the idea of heaven.
Life is just empty when you walk it alone
Life lacks meaning when experienced in solitude.
So wherever we're going, girl, it's good to be at home
Expressing contentment and comfort in being with the partner.
I could ramble a thousand miles or more
Reiterating the difficulty of finding a comparable connection elsewhere.
Never find the light I've seen in your eyes before
Reaffirming the uniqueness of the partner's eyes.
You gave me the freedom to go on my own way
Gratitude for the freedom to choose one's path.
Ah, but you gave me much more, I had the freedom to stay
Emphasizing that staying is a choice and a valuable freedom.
Tied my bandana, took my pack from the floor
Repeating the initial actions of preparing to leave.
You were still sleepin', as I stood at the door
Partner still sleeping, repeating the scenario from the beginning.
Once more I was headin' to God only knows where
Heading to an unknown destination again, a cycle that continues.
That's when it hit me, I was already there
Realization that the sense of fulfillment is present where they already are.
