Hold Lightly
Embrace Life's Fragility: Hold Lightly, Love Tightly
Lyrics
What’s done is done
Acceptance of irreversible actions or events.
We’ve seen the good days and the bad
Experienced both positive and negative moments.
We’ve seen the best we’ve ever had
Recalling the peak experiences in life.
And a wiser man than me
Referring to someone wiser sharing advice.
Said “Take the time to see
Quoting advice to take time to recognize enduring things.
Only one thing will last”
Highlighting the impermanence of most things.
Hold lightly the plans that you have made
Emphasizing not to cling tightly to plans.
Hold lightly the dreams of better days
Advising to treat dreams with a gentle touch.
Hold lightly the things that you have done
Suggesting not to be overly attached to past actions.
Hold on tightly to love
Encouraging a strong grip on the enduring power of love.
The days ahead
Looking at the future with a mix of potential and uncertainty.
Are full of promise, full of fear
Acknowledging the dual nature of the upcoming days.
Seems like change is always near
Noting the constant presence of change in life.
In this uncertainty
Addressing the need to navigate through uncertain times.
We should take the time to see that one thing will last
Reiterating the importance of recognizing lasting elements.
Faith can lose its footing
Highlighting the potential fragility of faith.
And the world can make you weep
Expressing the impact of the world's challenges on emotions.
Hope can sometimes feel so far away
Describing the occasional distance of hope in difficult times.
In all this insecurity
Reflecting on insecurity amid life's uncertainties.
When life can seem so cheap
Noting the value of life in challenging circumstances.
One thing remains
Stressing the enduring nature of a particular aspect despite challenges.
