Holding Onto Water
Embracing Vulnerability: A Journey Through Life's Lessons
Lyrics
Some things can't be bottled
Some experiences cannot be contained or restrained.
See how it's draining out the bottom
Observing how these experiences are slowly fading away.
Just like holding onto water
Comparing the difficulty of holding onto fleeting experiences to holding onto water.
My eyes will only open for so long
Awareness that one's perception or attention is limited, akin to the eyes closing after a certain time.
So show me everything
Expressing a desire to see and understand everything.
I'm always aching to see
Feeling a constant longing to experience and comprehend.
It's not pretty I know
Acknowledging that the process may not be aesthetically pleasing.
But still this is who I'll always be
Embracing the imperfect self as an inherent and unchanging part of identity.
I'm learning to trust you enough to take from you
Building trust to be vulnerable and accept from others.
You can trust me too
Emphasizing reciprocity in trust within relationships.
I have many gifts
Acknowledging possessing various talents or qualities.
That's right my God gave them to me
Attributing personal gifts to a higher power.
I've worked hard to learn to use them
Highlighting the effort invested in developing and utilizing these gifts.
And now I'll go and teach
Committing to share acquired knowledge and skills through teaching.
Bothell is beautiful in the fall
Appreciating the beauty of Bothell during the autumn season.
Days of my youth were not so long ago
Reflecting on the relatively recent days of youth.
I learned things here that some men never see
Expressing having learned profound lessons not universally experienced by all.
The lucky ones know exactly what I mean
Acknowledging the fortunate individuals who understand the conveyed experiences.
I'm learning to trust you enough to take from you
Reiterating the process of building trust to give and receive.
You can trust me too
Stressing the mutual aspect of trust in relationships.
