Lyrics
Have you come a long way?
Reflecting on the journey taken
Do you know where from?
Questioning origins or roots
Would you like to go back there someday?
Expressing a desire to return to a past place
Maybe you can go with someone
Suggesting companionship for the return
High above the finely laid sand
Observing a scene with meticulously arranged sand
The fire burning is the sun
Describing the sun as a burning fire
You took a match out from your pocket
Engaging in a symbolic act with a match
And let it burn down to your fingers and thumb
Letting the match burn down, potentially signifying risk
Late last night as the rain fell
Setting the scene during rain at night
Hard against the wall
Introducing an impactful moment against a wall
I watched you laying bricks down
Witnessing the construction of a new wall
Placing them there to make a new wall
Highlighting purposeful brick-laying
And that's when it happened to me
Personal realization of a change in thinking
That the change in my thinking set me free
Emphasizing a brief sense of liberation
Only for a moment
Recognition of temporary freedom
And then I fell back to my, fell back to my
Falling back into old, foolish thought patterns
Fell back to my fool-thinking ways
Repetition of falling into foolish thinking
Is there no hope for me?
Pleading for hope despite the recurring pattern
We walked across the bramble
Navigating through challenges represented by brambles
You pointed to the squirrel run
Pointing out a squirrel run, symbolizing simplicity
And listened to me though I rambled
Enjoying a carefree and enjoyable conversation
Makes me feel happy I'm having fun
Finding joy in the moment of fun
Have you come a long way?
Repetition of the initial reflective questions
Do you know where from?
Reiterating the uncertainty about origins
Would you like to go back there someday?
Expressing a recurring desire to return to the past
Maybe you can go with someone
Encouraging companionship for the return journey
Late last night as the rain fell
Recalling the impactful rainy night against a wall
Hard against the wall
Revisiting the intensity of rain against the wall
I watched you laying bricks down
Observing the ongoing construction of a new wall
Placing them there to make a new wall
Highlighting purposeful brick-laying once again
And that's when it happened to me
Reiterating the personal realization of change
That the change in my thinking set me free
Emphasizing the transient nature of the liberating thought
Only for a moment
Recognizing the fleeting sense of freedom
And then I fell back to my, fell back to my
Falling back into old, foolish thought patterns again
Fell back to my fool-thinking ways
Repetition of falling into foolish thinking
Is there no hope for me?
Persisting hopelessness despite the recurring cycle
