Pastor's Daughter
Wandering Souls: Pastor's Daughter Seeks Sanctuary
Lyrics
I reach out across the water
I attempt to connect across a distance or barrier.
And try to catch the setting sun
I strive to capture or hold onto something fleeting or elusive.
I'll always be the pastor's daughter
My identity is tied to being the daughter of a pastor.
Looking for someplace else to run
Feeling the urge to escape or seek refuge elsewhere.
And I know I'll always have a home to go to
Despite wandering, I know I have a place to return to.
When I lose my way
When I feel lost or disoriented.
But I know
Awareness of something.
My heart will only
My emotions will follow my movement away from the past.
Beat to the rhythm of my feet on the run from
Escaping the memories or experiences of yesterday.
Yesterday
Reflection or emphasis on a particular feeling or emotion.
Oh
Expressing emotions or realization.
Oh
-I put a pebble in my pocket
Keeping something as a reminder of purpose or direction.
So I would not forget why I had gone
To remember the reason for departing or moving forward.
But I still keep a picture in my locket
Preserving memories of a particular place or time.
Of the place, I used to sit out by the pond
A special location where I used to spend time.
And I know I'll always be in search of something
Continual pursuit of something that makes me want to stay or settle.
That makes me want to stay
Despite seeking, I understand my soul is drawn to move away.
But I know
Consciousness or understanding of a particular truth or reality.
My soul will only
My inner being resonates with nature as it takes me away.
Sing with the whistling wind as it's carrying me
Emphasis on a feeling or realization.
Away
-Oh
Expressing emotions or realization.
Oh
-And I thought that after all this time
Expectation of finding peace after a prolonged period.
I'd finally find some peace
An inner turmoil inhibiting the attainment of peace.
But the constant spinning in my mind
A constant state of mental unrest.
Won't give me that release
The mental unrest persists, denying release.
I'm always searching for my soul
Continual pursuit to find my essence or identity.
In someone else's eyes
Seeking validation or understanding of myself through others.
But all I ever find there
Discovery of temporary refuge or escape in others' eyes.
Is another place to hide
Finding temporary shelter or avoidance.
Oh
Expressing emotions or realization.
Oh
-Oh
-Oh
-Oh
-Oh
-I reach out across the water
Repetition of attempting to reach or capture something elusive.
And try to catch the setting sun
Reiteration of being the pastor's daughter and seeking elsewhere.
I'll always be the pastors daughter
Continued expression of seeking refuge or escape elsewhere.
Looking for someplace else to run
Continued desire to find another place to escape to.
