Precious
Embracing Darkness: A Journey of Bravery and Comfort
Lyrics
Like an old and faded photograph
Reflecting on a memory like an old and faded photograph
Kept somewhere deep inside your mind
The memory is deeply stored within the mind
All that is becomes a memory
All experiences become memories
That can't withstand the power of time
Memories are susceptible to the passage of time
But what's to come cannot comfort now
The future offers no comfort
Still this you must hear
An imperative message that must be heard
Precious are those who have walked on a path
Valuable are those who navigate through darkness
That takes them through darkness
The path doesn't allow a return
Shows them no way back
No clear route back is shown
For they learn to be brave
Learning courage through challenges
Because when they give comfort
Comfort is gained by giving
It comes from within
Comfort originates from within
With a deep understanding of how fear can win
Understanding the power of fear to conquer
And of how, fear can pass
Recognizing that fear can also subside
There are times it washes over you
Experiencing overwhelming emotions like an unstoppable wave
Just like a wave that can't be stopped
The wave is uncontrollable and persistent
Drags you down and starts to smother you
Feeling dragged down and suffocated by emotions
It can swim but you cannot
Struggling against emotions that one cannot escape
And oh my child I would comfort you
A parental desire to comfort if possible
If I knew a way
If there was a known way to offer comfort
Precious are those who have walked on a path
Reiteration of the value of those who face challenges
That takes them through darkness
The challenging path does not allow turning back
Shows them no way back
No clear return from the path of darkness
For they learn to be brave
Learning bravery through adversity
Because when they give comfort
Comfort is a result of giving
It comes from within
Internal source of comfort
With a deep understanding of how fear can win
Understanding the triumph of fear and its eventual passing
And of how
Precious are those
Emphasizing the value of those who face challenges
Precious are those
Reiteration of the precious nature of those who endure
This will pass
Assurance that difficult times will eventually pass
