Take One Thing Along
Journey Through Life's Shadows: 'Take One Thing Along' Insights
Lyrics
We turn life and death around
We are reversing the significance of life and death.
Who each have earned our pain
Both life and death have caused us pain.
God is not gone but is not sure
God is present but uncertain about how we earned what belongs to us.
How we earned this thing that can stay ours
There is something we possess, and it's unclear how we earned it.
Take this one thing along
Take along this one thing with you.
It is a sin but it is not wrong
It is considered a sin, but it is not morally wrong.
It is a sin but it is not wrong
Reiteration: It is a sin but not morally wrong.
Take this one thing along
Repetition: Take along this one thing with you.
The twilight, you know it now by heart
We are intimately familiar with the twilight, knowing its quiet and solitude.
What is quiet and what's alone
Understanding the quiet and loneliness.
Take this one thing along
Repetition: Take along this one thing with you.
If horizons ride before us
If horizons lie ahead, who is accompanying us?
Who rides beside?
Repetition: Who is riding beside us?
Who rides beside?
-Leave this one thing behind
Leave behind this one thing.
Turn the mirror to the door
Turn the mirror to the door where death has visited twice.
Where death has come in the same place twice
Death has occurred in the same place twice.
Leave this one thing behind
Repetition: Leave this one thing behind.
Leave this one thing behind
-Sorrow rides before us
Sorrow precedes us, and the question is who is accompanying us?
Who rides beside?
Repetition: Who is riding beside us?
Who rides beside?
-Take this one along
Repetition: Take this one thing along with you.
Leave this one behind
Repetition: Leave this one thing behind.
