Stars Will Shine
Embracing Life's Challenges: Stars & Change
Lyrics
Have you ever had something in your mind
Reflecting on past thoughts or experiences
Closer to a cold wind blowing than a thought
Comparing a thought to a cold wind, suggesting a chilling or unsettling nature
Have you ever read unreal stories
Exploring fantastical or improbable stories
And then lived the most surreal one
Living a life that feels like the most surreal story
Could we ever take the worst and use those bricks to build heaven?
Questioning the possibility of turning negative experiences into something positive
Fate may define the texture of life
Contemplating how fate shapes the texture of life
As well as the number of chances you will have for change
Acknowledging that fate determines the opportunities for change
And the number of the stars that will be shining
Connecting fate to the metaphorical stars that shine in life
What a cage to be free, yet doing nothing
Reflecting on the paradox of being in a cage but feeling free while being inactive
Doing a lot without seeing the difference
Doing a lot without perceiving any significant impact
And the river flows into the ocean
Using a river flowing into the ocean as a metaphor for continuity despite appearances
While its wideness seems to never change
Noting the apparent unchanging nature of vastness or situations
Whereas a tears a drop in the sea
Comparing tears to drops in the vastness of the sea
And keep all those smiles and...
Mentioning the importance of preserving smiles along with tears
Could we ever take the worst and
Reiterating the idea of turning adversity into something positive
Use those bricks to build heaven?
Repeating the question of using challenges to build something positive
Fate may define the texture of life
Reiterating the impact of fate on life's texture and chances for change
As well as the number of chance you will have for change
Re-emphasizing the role of fate in shaping opportunities
And the number of the stars that will be shining
Reconnecting fate with the metaphorical stars that illuminate life
Nothing but a drop can make a difference
Stressing the potential significance of small actions, using a drop as a metaphor
Nothing but a smile can do so much
Highlighting the powerful impact of a smile on situations
