Call My Name Out
Journey of Redemption: Finding Light Beyond the Storm
Lyrics
Storm dies, younger brother calls for his mother
Expression of a storm subsiding; a younger brother seeks comfort from his mother.
Son, she said, follow me instead
Mother suggests a new path for the son to follow instead.
Cloud rains tears, now the storm has cleared
The cloud sheds tears, symbolizing emotional release; the storm has passed.
Blown through time, let her mother shine
Metaphor of time passing, allowing the mother's influence to shine.
Still sees his father over the river
The presence of the father is still felt across the river.
He pours a little his way
The son pays homage to his father by pouring a libation in his direction.
Shows him there's a way
The father's influence guides the son and shows him a path.
Sea's calm now, but I don't know how
The sea is calm, but the narrator is uncertain about navigating emotional challenges.
To bring in the tide and call the storm inside
Expressing difficulty in bringing back the intensity of emotions and inner turmoil.
Still sees his father over the river
Continued presence of the father's memory across the river.
He pours a little his way
The son continues to honor his father through a symbolic gesture.
Shows him there's a way
The father's legacy guides the son, indicating a path forward.
Won't be here very long
A realization that the current state won't last; impermanence is acknowledged.
I know where I should be now
The narrator has clarity about where they should be in the present moment.
Rise and fall, and we will still be all
Life's fluctuations are acknowledged, with a hope to endure what is cherished.
That we held so dear
Reference to the importance of what was valued when facing the storm.
When the storm was here
Recollection of the significance of the held values during the storm.
Still sees his father over the river
The father's presence is still felt, emphasizing a lasting impact.
He pours a little his way
Ritual of pouring for the father continues, symbolizing respect and connection.
Shows him there's a way
The father's example continues to illuminate a path for the son.
Won't be here very long
Reiteration of the transient nature of the current state.
I know where I should be now
Confidence in knowing the appropriate place to be in the present.
Won't be here very long
Reiteration of the transient nature, emphasizing the need for presence elsewhere.
I know where I should be now
Confidence in knowing the appropriate place to be in the present (repeated).
