One Way Donkey Ride
Journey of Choices: Navigating Love and Life
Lyrics
There you may stand in your splendour and jewels
Describing someone in a magnificent state with riches and influence.
Swaying me in both directions.
Experiencing conflicting influences or persuasions.
One is the right one, the other for fools,
There are two choices, one correct and the other foolish, posing a dilemma.
How do I make my selection?
Uncertainty about making the right decision.
The city lies silent in the warm morning light,
Depicting a tranquil and quiet city in the gentle morning sunlight.
The sand is as golden as saffron.
The sand is likened to the color of saffron, emphasizing its golden hue.
Oasis of love, sweet water of life,
Metaphorically referring to love as an oasis and life-giving water.
God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried.
Expressing sympathy for those who lack love despite their efforts.
Someone is drowning down there in the flood
Someone is struggling amidst a difficult situation that may not last.
But this river will dry by tomorrow.
Highlighting the transient nature of the hardship faced.
Is it ocean or stream, this love in my blood,
Uncertainty about the nature of love - whether vast like an ocean or small like a stream.
Bringer of joy or of sorrow?
Wondering if love brings happiness or sorrow.
The end of the journey must soon be in sight,
Implying that the end of a significant journey is approaching.
Birth is the start of the swansong.
Birth is the beginning of the decline or the finale.
Oasis of love, sweet water of life,
Again, likening love to an oasis and life-giving water.
God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied.
Empathizing with those who desire love but are deprived of it.
No one is given the map to their dreams,
No one is provided with clear directions to their dreams; all they can do is follow their own path.
All we can do is to trace it.
Our task is to discover and navigate our life's course.
See where we go to,
Observing our current direction and reflecting on our past.
Know where we've been,
Understanding where we've been in our journey.
Build up the courage to face it
Encouraging bravery to confront challenges.
While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light
Struggling in confusion, grappling with a loss of clarity.
Roaming the land of the ancients.
Traveling through ancient lands, possibly metaphorical for experiencing history.
Oasis of love, sweet water of life,
Once more, referring to love as an oasis and life-giving water.
God bless the poor ones whose patience never died.
Commending those who have maintained their hope despite waiting for love.
While we stumble in blindness where once there was sight
Struggling without clarity where there was once understanding.
Searching for trees in the forest.
Attempting to find something important amidst a multitude of similar things.
Oasis of love, sweet water of life,
Again, metaphorically referencing love as an oasis and life-giving water.
God bless the poor ones, so helpless they have cried.
Extending sympathy towards those who feel helpless in seeking love.
God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried.
Reiteration of sympathy towards those who lack love despite their efforts.
God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied.
Empathizing with those who desire love but are denied.
God bless the poor ones whose patience never died.
Commending those who have endured patiently while hoping for love.
God bless the poor ones on that one way donkey ride.
Expressing empathy for those on an irreversible journey, possibly symbolizing life's path.
