There is a Friend
Discovering Hope: Unveiling the Secret Message in 'There is a Friend'
Lyrics
There is a secret
There is a hidden knowledge or truth
Laid at earth's foundation
This truth is foundational to the Earth
At the core of all that's moving
It is at the essence of all that is dynamic, affectionate, and vibrant
Loving and alive
Expressing love and vitality
There is a secret
Reiteration of the concealed truth
Hidden in the heavens
This truth is also hidden in the celestial realm
It is hope for all the broken
It represents hope for those who are shattered
The wandering but alive
Especially for those who are lost but still alive
There is a friend
Introducing a friend
There is a friend
Reiteration of the presence of this friend
You make it simple
The friend simplifies things
Stumbling in the darkness
Describing a moment of confusion or difficulty
For I am following your footsteps
Expressing commitment to follow the friend's path
In the fallen snow
In challenging times, like footsteps in fallen snow
And in my wishing
Expressing desires or hopes
For the end of winter
Specifically, hoping for the end of a metaphorical winter
It is here you've set a table
At this point, a metaphorical table is set to get to know the friend
To know you and to know
To understand and connect with the friend
There is a friend
Reaffirming the presence of the friend
There is a friend
Once again, emphasizing the friend's existence
Oh, there is a friend
Reiteration of the friend's presence
There is a friend
Further emphasis on the friend's existence
He always lets you in
The friend is always welcoming
And never lets you down
The friend never disappoints or betrays
Always lets you in
Repetition of the friend's reliability
And never lets you down
Emphasizing the friend's constant trustworthiness
No and even in the fire
Even in challenging situations, there is protection
You will not be burned
A promise that difficulties won't overcome
You can hear it in a whisper
Suggesting the friend's presence can be sensed subtly
He's closer than a brother
The friend is closer than a biological brother
You can hear it in a whisper
Reiteration of the friend's proximity
He's closer than a brother
Emphasizing the closeness akin to a brother
There is a secret
Reintroducing the idea of a hidden truth
Heard in breathless whisper
This truth is conveyed subtly
He is healing for the nations
The friend is a source of healing for diverse groups
Your family and your soul
Extending the friend's influence to family and soul
There is a friend
Restating the presence of the friend
There is a friend
Affirmation of the friend's existence
There is a friend
Concluding with the repetition of the friend's presence
