The Moon and St. Christopher
Navigating Life's Journey: Moonlit Reflections with Saint Christopher
Lyrics
When I was young I spoke like a child, and I saw with a child's eyes
Reflecting on childhood innocence and perception.
And an open door was to a girl like the stars are to the sky
An open door symbolizes opportunities for a young girl.
It's funny how the world lives up to all your expectations
Life often aligns with one's expectations.
With adventures for the stout of heart, and the lure of the open spaces
Adventures await those with courage and a love for open spaces.
There's 2 lanes running down this road, whichever side you're on
Life's journey with choices determining direction.
Accounts for where you want to go, or what you're running from
Choices shape destination or escape.
Back when darkness overtook me on a blind man's curve
Referencing a challenging moment, a blind turn.
I relied upon the moon, I relied upon the moon
Moon as a source of guidance and comfort.
I relied upon the moon and Saint Christopher
Bringing in the protective symbolism of Saint Christopher.
Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them, but I've paid a price sometimes
Acknowledging dues paid, implying challenges faced.
For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times
Admitting to stubbornness in challenging times.
Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them, but I've paid a price sometimes
Reiteration of paying dues and stubbornness.
For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times
Emphasizing the price paid for stubbornness.
Now I have run from the arms of lovers, I've run from the eyes of friends
Running away from love and friendship.
I have run from the hands of kindness, I've run just because I can
Avoiding kindness, running for the sake of running.
But now I'm grown and I speak like a woman and I see with a woman's eyes
Maturation, speaking and seeing as a woman.
And an open door is to me now like the saddest of goodbyes
An open door now signifies sad goodbyes.
It's too late for turning back, I pray for the heart and the nerve
No turning back, seeking courage and determination.
And I rely upon the moon, I rely upon the moon
Return to relying on the moon for guidance.
I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher
Reiteration of relying on the moon and Saint Christopher.
I rely upon the moon, I rely upon the moon
Continued reliance on the moon and Saint Christopher.
I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher
Emphasizing the ongoing dependence on the moon and Saint Christopher.
