I'm Not the Only One Asking
Seeking Answers: A Quest Amidst Wandering Souls
Lyrics
Bird on the telephone wire
A bird is perched on a telephone wire
Come down and sing to me
Asking the bird to come down and sing
Have you heard from my father
Asking if there's any communication from the father
Have you any news to bring
Seeking any updates or information from the father
I know I'm not the only one asking
Expressing that others also have similar questions or uncertainties
Among wandering souls down here
Among many lost or searching individuals
Can you shout it from the highest peak
Requesting to broadcast the information loudly or discreetly share it
Or at least whisper it in my ear
Asking for information to be shared in a secretive or intimate manner
I knocked on the door of my neighbor
Seeking information from a neighbor
To ask him if he had received
Asking if the neighbor received something
The holy key to Heaven
Referring to a key to Heaven and questioning its receipt
My father promised me
Referencing a promise made by the father
I'm not the only one asking
Reiterating that others share the same inquiries
Among wandering souls down here
Among those who are lost or seeking
So brother if you know the answer
Requesting information from a brother
Please whisper it in my ear
Asking for discreet sharing of the information
I'm reaching for Heaven
Expressing a longing or reaching for Heaven
Down on my knees, down on my knees
Being in a humble or pleading position
Now I'm finally getting nearer to Heaven
Feeling closer or making progress toward Heaven
And nearer to thee
Getting nearer to a higher entity or deity
I know I'm not the only one asking
Emphasizing the shared nature of the inquiries among many
Among wandering souls down here
Among those who are lost or searching
Can you shout it from the highest peak
Requesting a loud or discreet sharing of information
Or at least whisper it in my ear
Asking for information in a secretive or intimate manner
Bird on the telephone wire
Repeating the image of the bird on the telephone wire
Come down and sing to me
Asking the bird to sing
