My Story
Journey to Freedom: A Tale of Pale Blue Eyes and Mountain Dreams
Lyrics
He was a boy with pale blue eyes
Describes a boy with pale blue eyes
Who came some day to realize
The boy has a realization at some point
It's almost heaven
Expresses that a state of bliss or perfection is nearly achieved
It's almost heaven
Reiterates the idea of almost reaching a heavenly state
It's almost heaven to be free
Repeats the notion of being almost in a heavenly state, emphasizing the desire for freedom
He threw away his youth and now it's gone
Describes the boy discarding his youth, which is now lost
The days were short, the nights were long
Highlights the brevity of days and length of nights in the past
He sang: "West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Quotes a song lyric, expressing a desire to go to West Virginia, referencing "Mountain Mama" and a call to be taken higher
Take me higher, take me home"
Continues the desire to be taken higher and home, quoting the same song lyric
He met some women, he met some girls
Mentions the boy encountering women and girls, with the intention to break hearts and wear shirts
To break their hearts, to wear their shirts
Repeats the idea of breaking hearts and wearing shirts
He sang: "West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Quotes the same song lyric again, expressing the desire to go to West Virginia, "Mountain Mama," and to be taken higher
Take me higher, take me home."
Reiterates the desire to be taken higher and home, quoting the same song lyric
He was a boy with pale blue eyes
Repeats the initial description of the boy with pale blue eyes
Who came some day to realize
Reiterates that the boy had a realization at some point
My dream is over
Declares the end of the dream
My dream is over
Reiterates the end of the dream, emphasizing the connection to "Mountain Mama"
Mountain Mama, take me home
Invokes "Mountain Mama" again, expressing the desire to be taken home
