Sea
Navigating Life's Waves: Renée Spijker's Powerful Message
Lyrics
We are all the same
We share commonality as human beings.
We walk, we talk, we pray
We engage in basic activities: walking, talking, and praying.
We have our choices to blame
We have personal choices and decisions for which we bear responsibility.
After the sunlight comes the rain
After moments of joy (sunlight), challenges and difficulties (rain) follow.
We all are swimming in the sea called life
We are all navigating the complexities of life, symbolized as a sea.
We all are swimming in the sea called life
-We all are swimming in the sea called life
-Mama heya, mama heya
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm, possibly expressing unity or a collective experience.
Mama heya, mama heya
-Mama heya, mama heya
-Mama heya, mama heya
-Why is it that we hide
Questioning the tendency to conceal aspects of ourselves.
In our self-made corner of our mind
Describing a self-created mental space for retreat.
We sit there with our hands for our eyes
Suggesting a deliberate avoidance of external realities.
So we don't have to see what's going on outside
Using hands to shield eyes metaphorically, avoiding facing harsh truths.
It's not alright
Expressing discontent or concern about the current state.
We all are swimming in the sea called life
Reiteration of the shared experience of navigating life's challenges.
We all are swimming in the sea called life
-We all are swimming in the sea called life
-Can you open up to see it, open up to see it
Encouraging openness and awareness to the realities of life.
Can you open up to see it, open up to see it
-Can you open up to see it, open up to see it
-Can you open up to see it, open up to see it
-There are
Introduction to various struggles and hardships faced by people.
People fighting
Specific challenges: fighting, dying, crying, lying, drowning.
People dying
-People crying
-People lying
-People drowning in the sea
-Mama heya, mama heya
Repetition, possibly emphasizing the universal role of motherhood or a call for nurturing.
Mama heya, mama heya
-Mama heya, mama heya
-Mama heya, mama heya
-We are all the same
Reaffirmation of our shared humanity.
