The Beginning
Love's Resilience: A Tale of Growth and Renewal
Lyrics
At the beginning, there was love
Expressing the start of a relationship marked by love.
And we thought it was enough
Initial belief that love alone would sustain the relationship.
We saw no farther than each other's arms
Limited perspective, focusing only on each other's presence.
And though the roof leaked o'er our heads
Describing humble living conditions with a leaky roof.
Just a blanket for our bed
Using a blanket as a symbol of simplicity in their life.
But then we had our love to keep us warm
Highlighting that love was their source of warmth and comfort.
But the winter winds blew cold
Introduction of challenges, symbolized by winter winds.
Our new love was growing old
Indicating that the initial love was losing its vitality.
And our words were filled
Communication filled with negative emotions.
With anger and regret
Expressing feelings of anger and remorse.
Our bills were more than we could pay
Financial strain, unable to meet the expenses.
And we both longed for the taste
Longing for the freedom experienced before marriage.
Of the freedom that we knew before we wed
Reflecting on the desire for the pre-wedding sense of freedom.
But there was something greater still
Introducing a greater challenge than fights and bills.
Than all our fights and monthly bills
Emphasizing the significance of impending parenthood.
It was the knowledge of a
Recognition of the knowledge of having a child.
Child well on it's way
Highlighting the impending arrival of their child.
And though we both longed to be free
Despite the desire for freedom, acknowledging the responsibility.
We talked it over and we agreed
Decision to wait until the baby arrives before considering separation.
That we'd wait 'til baby came to separate
Commitment to stay together until the child is born.
Then at last the baby arrived
Birth of the baby, a significant event in their lives.
And the tears filled both our eyes
Emotional reaction to the arrival of their newborn.
As we held our newborn baby in our arms
Reaffirmation of love as they hold their baby.
And the love we thought was gone
Rediscovery of love, stronger than before.
Lived there three times as strong
Contrast to earlier belief, love is now three times as strong.
It's not the end
Asserting that it's not the end of their relationship.
It's the beginning of our home
Emphasizing that the birth of the baby marks a new beginning.
It's not the end
Reiteration that it's not the end, but the start of their home.
It's the beginning of our home
Affirming the idea that parenthood is the beginning of a new chapter.
