Same River
Embracing Change: Sara Melson's 'Same River' Unveils the Fluidity of Life
Lyrics
Oh you'll never step into the same river twice
Change is constant, and one cannot experience identical situations or moments again.
It'll never be just the same
Each moment is unique and cannot be replicated exactly as before.
Morphing by the second, rushing on by
Life is constantly evolving and progressing rapidly.
And we don't miss our water til the well runs dry
People often fail to appreciate something until they lose it or it becomes scarce.
Yeah you'll never step into the same river twice
Reiteration of the idea that no moment or experience remains the same.
Everything including you will change
Everything, including individuals, undergoes transformation over time.
Something will go, something else will arrive
Change involves loss and gain, as some aspects fade away while new ones emerge.
We are as fluid as the evening sky
Humans are adaptable and changeable, similar to the ever-shifting evening sky.
Moving so fast, nothing will last
Life is fleeting, and nothing endures indefinitely.
The moment blows past like the wind
Moments pass quickly, akin to the transient nature of the wind.
Oh I have to be brave, riding the wave
Embracing courage is necessary when facing life's challenges, symbolized by riding the wave.
And the one I must save is within
The primary responsibility lies within oneself.
And I'll never set foot into the same river
Reiteration of the theme that one cannot step into the same river again.
Oh you'll never step into the same river twice
Continuation of the idea that each experience is distinct and unrepeatable.
Sand between your feet will wash away
The transience of experiences, likened to how sand is washed away.
Ripples flowing over you never to return
Effects and influences (ripples) move forward and do not return.
Onward to the ocean as you face another day
Life progresses towards the future, symbolized by moving towards the ocean.
Moving so fast, nothing will last
Reiteration of the impermanence of life's moments.
The moment blows past like the wind
The swiftness of passing moments, comparable to the fleeting wind.
Oh I have to be brave, riding the wave
Emphasizing the need for courage when confronting challenges.
And the one I must save is within
The ultimate responsibility for one's well-being lies within oneself.
Oh I'll never set foot Into the same river
Reiteration that one cannot return to the exact same circumstances or experiences.
Yeah I'll never set foot into the same river
A reaffirmation of the idea that life is characterized by constant change.
