If You Wait
Journey of Longing: Embracing the Unseen Path
Lyrics
If you wait
Expressing a condition of waiting
If I could ask you to wait
Expressing a hypothetical desire for someone to wait
I'd get back, somehow
Commitment to return or reconcile somehow
To you
Directing the commitment toward the listener
If I could ask you to wait
Reiterating the desire for someone to wait
I'll bring myself
Commitment to bring oneself back
Home to you
Returning home to the listener
I would walk on this road
Willingness to endure challenges
Through mud, through grass, through dust, through rain
Describing the obstacles on the journey
Whatever I find in my way
Commitment to overcome any obstacles
I'll power through
Determination to persevere
I'llPower through
Reaffirming the commitment to push through
Home to you
Reiterating the desire to return home
If you wait
Repeating the condition of waiting
If I could ask you to wait
Re-emphasizing the hypothetical request to wait
But I can't ask you to wait
Recognizing the inability to make that request
Though it breaks me:
Acknowledging emotional difficulty
Go
Expressing the need for the listener to depart
I must ask you to go
Repeating the request for departure
Go
Reiteration of the necessity to leave
I must ask you to go
Strongly urging the listener to go away
Please go
Requesting the departure with urgency
(I must ask you to go)
Reiterating the strong need for departure
