Dark Time
Embracing Light: Finding Hope in the Dark Time - Miles Gannett
Lyrics
In the evening, I lie awake
In the evening, experiencing insomnia
Toss and turn to some other place
Tossing and turning, longing for a different place
And the dark time will end
Anticipation of the end of a difficult period (dark time)
More and more will begin (we wade)
Expectation of new beginnings as they wade through challenges
To see the sunlight dance upon their skin (they wade)
Observing sunlight on skin, symbolizing positivity and renewal
See the moonlight and the light within
Appreciating both moonlight and inner light
Taking the long way home, by the river
Choosing a scenic route home, perhaps to find solace
Wishing a timely song would deliver
Hoping for a timely and meaningful song to provide comfort
And the dark time will end
Reiteration of the expectation that the dark time will end
More and more will begin (we wade)
Continued belief in new beginnings despite challenges
To see the sunlight dance upon their skin (they wade)
Revisiting the imagery of sunlight dancing on skin
See the moonlight and the light within
Acknowledging both moonlight and inner light once more
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Numerical countdown, possibly emphasizing a rhythmic pattern
I can see them in their crystal skins spinning 'round
Repetition of seeing individuals with crystal-clear essence spinning around
I can see them in their crystal skins spinning 'round
-I can see them in their crystal skins spinning 'round
-I can see them in their crystal skins spinning 'round
-In the dark time, we have to sing
In challenging times, expressing the necessity to sing
Try to find some good offering
Attempting to find positive offerings or gestures during difficulties
And the dark time will end
Reiteration of the expectation that the dark time will end
More and more will begin (we wade)
Continued belief in new beginnings, emphasizing perseverance
To see the sunlight dance upon their skin
Revisiting the imagery of sunlight on skin as a symbol of hope
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Numerical countdown, echoing the earlier rhythmic pattern
