Embracing Life's Bumps: A Song of Resilience by Ringo Starr
Lyrics
When it starts to go wrong
Expressing a recognition of problems emerging.
And I feel like it can't go back
Feeling a sense of irreversibility.
It's just a bump in the road
Referring to a minor obstacle in life.
It's just a penny that's on the track
Symbolizing a small hindrance.
Some people can't move on
Addressing differing responses to challenges.
And some can't let it go
Highlighting varying abilities to move forward.
But I can...and you can
Expressing personal and shared resilience.
So we don't have to worry 'bout that
Assuring that concerns need not be a burden.
Sometimes it seems
Acknowledging the feeling of permanent loss.
Like we'll never be whole again
Comparing the struggle to regain completeness.
Like an oak in the wind
Using an oak metaphor for enduring challenges.
We bend a little bit now and then
Illustrating flexibility in facing adversity.
Some people won't reach out
Noting reluctance to seek help.
Some people won't reach in
Emphasizing the challenge of opening up emotionally.
But I will...and you will
Affirming a commitment to connect emotionally.
So we don't have to worry 'bout that
Reiterating that shared concerns are manageable.
Hold on tight
Encouraging perseverance during tough times.
Try with all your might
Urging to exert maximum effort in difficult situations.
It might get a little rough sometimes
Comparing challenges to a stormy sea voyage.
Like a ship on a stormy night
Highlighting the turbulence of life's challenges.
But it's all gonna be all right
Expressing optimism that everything will be fine.
At the end of the day
Reassuring that love is the ultimate solution.
Love is the only word
Stressing the simplicity and power of love.
And there's nothing to say
Indicating that love transcends words.
It's the best one we've ever heard
Asserting the unparalleled significance of love.
Some people don't forget
Observing different responses to life's challenges.
The troubles that come their way
Recognizing the difficulty of forgetting hardships.
But I do... and you do
Affirming the ability to move beyond troubles.
So we don't have to worry 'bout that
Reiterating shared resilience in overcoming worries.
I do... and you do
Emphasizing the collective strength to face challenges.
So we don't have to worry 'bout that
Reassuring that shared strength alleviates concerns.
