Slow
Embracing Change: Journey Through Waves
Lyrics
I was looking the other way
I was not paying attention or aware
When the wave came
A significant event or challenge occurred
Wrong day right kinda change
A change occurred unexpectedly on a day that seemed inappropriate but was the right kind of change
Told me that I was a fool for
Someone criticized me for a reason
For breathing
The criticism was harsh, suggesting I shouldn't even breathe
Foolish to believe in anything
It seemed foolish to have faith or belief in anything
The wave came down
The significant event unfolded
I had to rinse off and reach out
I had to cleanse myself and extend help to others
Holding on harder now
Now, I'm holding on more strongly
I was looking the other way
I was again not paying attention or aware
When the wave came
The significant event occurred once more
Losing ground I found the words to say
Despite losing ground, I found the words to express myself
But here on the other side
Now on the other side of the challenge
I've got it
I have it, possibly referring to a newfound strength or understanding
An energy that I intend to keep
I possess an energy that I plan to maintain
Who we are is who we intend to be
Our true identity is who we aspire to be
I'm on a long road
I am on a lengthy journey
I'm gonna rise
I will overcome challenges
But i'm gonna take it slow
I will overcome challenges but at a slow pace
I'm gonna rise
I will rise above difficulties
But I'm gonna take it slow
I will overcome challenges but at a slow pace
Well you've got time to
There is time to make a decision
Decide if you are coming with me on the way up
Decide whether to join the journey upwards
But it's not a choice
The decision might not be a choice
Just making sense of all the noise
Making sense of life's chaos and confusion
The sound is only what I'm made of
My essence is only what I'm composed of
It was a narrow maze that i made it through
I navigated a challenging path
My yellow days were dipped in blue
My positive days were affected by sadness
Counting to three i'd end up back at two
Counting to three, I would end up back at two, indicating setbacks
I'm on a long road
I am on a lengthy journey
I'm gonna rise
I will overcome challenges
But i'm gonna take it slow
I will overcome challenges but at a slow pace
I'm gonna be alright
I will be fine and overcome difficulties
I'm finding lots of places to call home
I am discovering many places to feel at home
I'm gonna be just fine
I will be fine and have many people to rely on
Cuz i've got lots of people to call home
Expressing confidence and having a support network
I was looking the other way
Once again, I was not paying attention or aware
When the wave came
The significant event occurred, but I am grateful for the self-awareness it brought
Thankful that it showed myself to me
Expressing gratitude for realizing aspects of oneself
All the colors i pretended not to see
Acknowledging and embracing all aspects of oneself, even those previously ignored
Painted on me beautifully
Describing self-discovery as beautiful and artistic
