Lyrics
Are you feeling lost and lonely?
Expressing concern about feeling lost and lonely.
You needn't be
Assuring that there's no need to feel that way.
Like you've lost all hope and your sanity
Describing a sense of despair and loss of sanity.
Oh, you needn't be
Reiterating that there's no need to feel hopeless.
If we only have one turn
Reflecting on the limited opportunities in life.
In this life we have to learn
Highlighting the importance of learning in our only chance at life.
Carrying the world on your shoulders
Metaphorically describing the burdens and challenges of life.
You needn't be
Reiterating that there's no need to carry the weight alone.
Ever more as you get older
Suggesting that challenges increase with age.
You needn't be, oh, you needn't be
Emphasizing again that one doesn't need to face difficulties alone.
If we only have one turn
Repeating the theme of learning in the limited time available.
In this life we have to learn
Underlining the importance of acquiring wisdom in life.
We wish our lives away
Expressing a tendency to wish for a different life.
Hoping for a better day
Longing for a better future and anticipating improvement.
The future's miles away
Noting the uncertainty and distance of the future.
And what is past is done and gone
Acknowledging that the past is irreversible and complete.
If we only have one turn
Reemphasizing the limited opportunities and the necessity of learning.
In this life we have to learn
Concluding with a reminder of the imperative to learn in this one chance at life.
