40 Miles of Bad Road
Forgiving Roads: Embracing Peace After Forty Miles
Lyrics
There's forty miles of bad road behind us
Reflecting on a challenging journey of forty miles filled with difficulties and hardships.
I see clear sailing up ahead
Expressing optimism about a smooth and trouble-free future.
The troubles we've been through
Acknowledging the challenges and difficulties faced in the past.
The bad things we'd do
Admitting to engaging in negative actions or behaviors in the past.
All of them are buried and their dead
Emphasizing that the negative experiences are now in the past and no longer affect the present.
Forgive and forget
Encouraging the idea of forgiving and letting go of past grievances.
Yeah we're all set
Confirming resolution and readiness to move forward.
We'll put the hurting far behind
Expressing the intention to leave behind the pain and difficulties.
If we forgive and forget
Reiterating the importance of forgiveness and forgetting for a fresh start.
And we have no regrets
Stating the absence of regrets after forgiveness.
For today we'll have peace of mind
Anticipating peace of mind in the present moment.
You know I never meant to hurt you
Expressing regret for unintentionally causing harm to someone.
And I know you never tried to hurt me
Acknowledging that the other person did not intend to cause harm either.
So let the pain be gone
Advocating the release of emotional pain and moving forward.
And then we just move on
Encouraging the idea that letting go leads to freedom.
If we just let go then we're free
Highlighting the freedom achieved through releasing past grievances.
There's forty miles of bad road behind us
Repeating the notion of overcoming a challenging past.
I see clear sailing up ahead
Reiterating optimism for a smooth journey ahead.
The troubles we've been through
Revisiting the acknowledgment of past troubles and difficulties.
The bad things we'd do
Reaffirming admission of engaging in negative actions.
All of them are buried and their dead
Reemphasizing that the negative past is no longer relevant.
The story does go a little deeper
Hinting at additional complexities in the story that are not currently disclosed.
But for now that's all that I can say
Limiting the information shared about the deeper aspects of the story.
We've got over the pain
Indicating successful overcoming of pain and starting anew.
And started again
Describing a positive shift towards a brighter future.
Into the sun and out is the rain
Symbolizing moving from difficult times (rain) into better times (sun).
Forgive and forget
Reiterating the theme of forgiving and leaving pain behind.
Yeah we're all set
Confirming readiness to move forward and put past hurts aside.
We'll leave the hurting far behind
Expressing determination to distance oneself from past pains.
If we forgive and forget
Reaffirming the importance of forgiveness and expressing a lack of regrets.
And we have no regrets
Stating the expectation of experiencing peace of mind in the present.
For today we'll have some peace of mind
Reiterating the absence of regrets after forgiving and forgetting.
There's forty miles of bad road behind us
Repeating the metaphor of overcoming a difficult past.
I see clear sailing up ahead
Reiterating optimism for a trouble-free future.
The troubles we've been through
Recalling the challenges and negative actions of the past.
And the bad things we'd do
Affirming the burial of past troubles and negative actions.
All of them are buried and their dead
Reiterating the finality of leaving the past behind.
All of them are buried and their dead
Concluding with the affirmation that the negative past is fully in the past.
