River of Love
Navigating the River of Love and Loss: Leslie Phillips' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
There`s a river of love that runs through all times
There is a continuous and enduring force of love throughout all periods.
There`s a river of grief that floods through our loves
There is a pervasive sense of sorrow that inundates our relationships.
It starts when a heart is broken into
The experience of heartbreak initiates the flow of this emotional river.
By the thief of belief in anything that`s true
A loss of faith in truth, caused by deception, contributes to the heartbreak.
But there`s a river of love that runs through all time
Despite the challenges, love persists and endures through all periods of time.
There`s a river of love that runs through all time
Reiteration of the continuous presence of the river of love.
There`s a river of tears that flows through our eyes
Tears are a tangible expression of the emotional pain within our relationships.
We fight through the night for freedom as it fades
A struggle for freedom occurs in the face of fading hope, leading to repeated failures.
Into a jail where we fail everytime we make a break
Efforts for freedom often result in setbacks, creating a cycle of failure.
But there`s a river of love that runs through all time
Despite the hardships, the river of love remains a constant force.
I had to run before I knew how to crawl
The speaker had to face challenges and adversity before mastering basic skills.
The first step was hard but I have had trouble with them all
The initial steps in life were difficult, with ongoing struggles.
But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim
The future appears bleak and challenging as the night symbolizes darkness and day symbolizes fading hope.
`Cause I know I never will see you again
The speaker acknowledges a permanent separation from a significant person.
And I almost made you happy
Despite efforts, the speaker couldn't bring lasting happiness to the other person.
There`s a river of love that runs through all time
Reiteration of the enduring nature of the river of love.
There`s a river of fire that burns with no light
A metaphorical river of fire symbolizing intense pain without illumination.
The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke
The pain of shattered dreams contributes to the burning flame of emotional distress.
From the lies we deny and breathe until we choke
Lies that are denied and internalized contribute to suffocation and emotional distress.
There`s a river of love that runs through all time
Despite the challenges, the river of love endures through all time.
