Lyrics
I am just a child in the sun
Expressing a sense of innocence and vulnerability under the warmth and exposure of the sun.
Just another soul on the run
Feeling like just another person trying to escape or evade something.
One more of your unwanted sons
Feeling unwanted or unappreciated, possibly by society or others.
Tell me where can I go
Seeking direction or guidance, feeling lost and in need of a destination.
I had a line I tried for a while
Had a plan or purpose previously but now experiencing a journey with no clear direction.
Now I'm walkin' mile after mile
Continuing to travel extensively, perhaps searching for something elusive.
On my face no trace of a smile
Experiencing a lack of happiness or joy, evident by the absence of a smile.
Why does time pass so slow
Feeling like time is moving slowly, possibly due to dissatisfaction or hardship.
Take me down to the river
Desiring to be taken to a place of tranquility or calmness (the river).
Take me down to the sea
Expressing a desire to reach a larger body of water (the sea) for solace or relief.
Where I can drown all my sorrows
Wanting to find a way to escape from pain or distress, symbolically through drowning sorrows.
Wash all my troubles away
Hoping that being near water will cleanse and alleviate troubles.
Watch all my cares sail away
Imagining a scenario where worries and concerns drift away with the water.
I have no ties my hands are unbound
Feeling detached and free, but also lacking connections or relationships.
There is no friend no love I have found
Expressing loneliness or isolation, having not found companionship or love.
I have no ups I'm fixed to the ground
Feeling stagnant or unable to progress, lacking positive experiences or emotions.
Tell me river where you flow.
Asking for guidance or direction from the river, seeking a path to follow.
