So They Say
Echoes of Time: Lalah Hathaway's Poetic Reflections on Life and Love
Lyrics
Time heals all wounds
Time has the ability to heal emotional wounds.
So they say, so they say
People commonly assert that time is a healing force.
And the sun's gonna shine
Despite challenges, a positive outlook suggests that the future will be bright.
Come what may, so they say
Adversities won't prevent the arrival of better times, as commonly believed.
What goes around comes around
Karma dictates that actions will eventually have consequences.
And silence is the sweetest sound
Silence is portrayed as a peaceful and valuable experience.
And April brings the flowers here in May
Symbolic expression of renewal and beauty in life.
We don't know what we have
Often, the true value of something is realized only after it's lost.
'Til it's gone, gone away
Reflecting on the theme of appreciating what one has before it's gone.
And tomorrow brings
Each new day brings opportunities and a fresh start.
A brand new day, so they say
Positive outlook on the potential for better things in the future.
But what if this is all a dream
Contemplation about the nature of reality and existence.
And things are not the way they seem
Doubt about the authenticity of appearances and perceptions.
What about the things they say
Questioning the validity of common beliefs and sayings.
Is there someone for everyone?
Exploring the concept of destined companionship for every individual.
Do we reap what we sow?
Raising the question of whether our actions determine our outcomes.
Is there really good in everyone?
Examining the belief in inherent goodness within every person.
Will we ever know?
Pondering the uncertainty of truly understanding others.
Love lives through time
Love endures the test of time.
And there's no place like home
Expressing the sentiment that one's home is irreplaceable.
And I may be all alone
Feeling alone but holding onto the beliefs and sayings that provide comfort.
But I believe what they say
Despite solitude, maintaining faith in the wisdom passed down through sayings.
