Lyrics
You can never hold onto anyone
You cannot possess or cling to anyone.
We're meant to love like water
Human relationships are supposed to flow and adapt like water.
We're meant to free each other
The purpose is to liberate one another.
And nothing is sheltered from the winds of change
Change is inevitable and affects everything without exception.
The earth burns
The world experiences turmoil and destruction.
The fault lines shift
There are seismic shifts in life's foundations.
And she quakes
The earth trembles, symbolizing instability.
The river she knows
The river is a symbol of wisdom or experience.
And the river will hold, she'll hold you
The river will support and nurture you.
And the river she knows
Reiteration of the river's comforting nature.
And the river will hold you
The river will provide solace and stability.
The wind she knows
The wind represents another force of change.
And the wind will hold, she'll hold you
The wind will embrace and sustain you.
And the wind she knows
Reiteration of the wind's supportive nature.
And the wind will hold you
The wind will offer comfort and security.
The truth is we're all slowly dying
An acknowledgment that everyone is gradually approaching death.
Life's meant to slip
Life is designed to slip away.
So savor the slipping
Value and relish the passing of time.
You can only step in the same water once
Metaphorically, you can't experience the same moment twice.
So what will you do with your one wild life
Pose a question about making the most of one's unique life.
Your one wild life
Reiteration of the singularity of one's life.
Your one wild life
Emphasizing the preciousness of an individual's life.
She'll hold you
Reassurance that the river will provide support.
And the river she knows
Reiteration of the river's nurturing and comforting role.
And the river will hold you
Assurance that the river will sustain and protect.
The wind she knows
Reaffirmation of the wind's role as a stabilizing force.
And the wind will hold, she'll hold you
The wind will hold and provide security.
And the wind she knows
Emphasizing the wind's supportive and holding nature.
And the wind will hold you
The wind will offer comfort and stability.
You can never hold onto anyone
Reiteration that one cannot possess or grasp anyone.
We're meant to love like water
Restating the idea that love should flow freely like water.
We're meant to free each other
Reiterating the concept of liberating each other through love.
