Temperance
Finding Peace in the Storm: Nick Andrew Staver's Soulful Journey
Lyrics
I've been waiting for the rain to stop
I've been waiting for a difficult or challenging period to end.
I've been waiting out the rain
I've been enduring through the challenges brought by the metaphorical "rain."
I've been waiting for the storm to pass me by so I can cross the river
I've been waiting for the storm to pass so that I can move forward in life.
I've been waiting for the river to dry
Waiting for a difficult situation to resolve so I can return to my comfort zone.
So I can come back home
Desiring to return home once the obstacle (river) is no longer an impediment.
Crawl across the bed and fall asleep in the arms of temperance
Expressing a desire to find solace and peace in the embrace of "temperance."
So if you don't mind
Requesting others to be respectful of time and not cause unnecessary delays.
Stop wasting my time
Encouraging a change in behavior to bring tranquility and serenity.
Change your ways and give me peace
Asking for a transformation in actions to bring about peace.
I've been waiting for the tide to change
Waiting for a positive shift or transformation in circumstances.
So I can see the mud below my feet
Anticipating clarity and understanding, represented by seeing the mud below.
I count the waves crashing to the shore to remind me I still got a heartbeat
Reflecting on life's challenges, finding strength in the reminder of a heartbeat.
So if you don't mind
Reiteration of the plea to stop wasting time and bring about positive change.
Stop wasting my time
Repeated call for a change in behavior to attain peace.
Change your ways and give me peace
Reiterating the need for transformative actions to achieve inner peace.
I'm in need, I'm need of a change
Expressing a strong desire for change in one's life situation.
I'm in need, I'm need of a change
Emphasizing the urgency of the need for a positive transformation.
I'm in need, I'm need of a change
Repetition of the desire for change, possibly for emphasis or intensity.
I've been waiting for the river to dry
Reiteration of the desire to return home once the obstacles are overcome.
So I can come back home
Restating the goal of returning home after the challenges are resolved.
Crawl across the bed and fall asleep in the arms of temperance
Expressing a longing to find comfort and rest in the arms of "temperance."
