Lyrics
With your wide-angle outlook
Expressing admiration for a broad perspective or understanding.
And your whistling to beat the band
Applauding someone's enthusiastic and skillful whistling.
You know more than your years
Acknowledging wisdom beyond one's age.
Wheels within wheels you understand
Describing a deep understanding of complex situations and relationships.
You're holding your own
Encouraging self-empowerment and resilience.
You're holding your own
Reiterating the theme of self-sufficiency.
Like the water washes a stone
Comparing personal strength to the persistent erosion of a stone by water.
You're holding your own
Affirming one's ability to maintain stability and control.
You weren't born yesterday
Emphasizing experience and the wisdom gained over time.
Time in the world to find your way
Highlighting the opportunity to navigate life at one's own pace.
The landing lights shine from home
Suggesting a sense of guidance from familiar sources, possibly home.
Could be Dublin or could be Rome
Indicating uncertainty about the specific location but recognizing a homely feeling.
You're holding your own
Repeating the theme of personal strength and resilience.
You're holding your own
Reiterating the idea of maintaining composure and stability.
Like the water washes a stone
Continuing the metaphor of personal strength like water eroding a stone.
You're holding your own
Affirming the individual's ability to endure and persevere.
With your own brand of magic
Acknowledging a unique and personal form of charisma or influence.
Tie the lines and set the sail
Encouraging taking control of one's direction and destiny.
Be true to beliefs that guide you
Advocating for staying true to personal beliefs and principles.
Take your time with your tracks on the trail
Suggesting a patient and deliberate approach to life's journey.
You're holding your own
Reaffirming personal strength and self-sufficiency.
You're holding your own
Restating the theme of holding one's ground and maintaining stability.
Like the water washes a stone
Using the water and stone metaphor to emphasize personal resilience.
You're holding your own
Affirming the individual's capacity to endure and withstand challenges.
