Lyrics
Walk softly through the
Caution to navigate carefully through challenges
Desert sands
A metaphorical reference to a challenging or barren environment
Careful where you tread
Be mindful of where you step, indicating potential pitfalls
Underfoot are the visions lost
The dreams or aspirations that have been abandoned or forgotten
Sleeping not yet dead
Metaphor for resilience and potential for revival
Hang on - Winds starting to howl
A call to brace oneself for upcoming challenges
Hang on - The beast is on the prowl
Suggesting a threatening presence or difficult situation
Hang on - Can you hear the
Auditory perception of an unusual or eerie sound
Strange cry
Acknowledging a mysterious and transformative phenomenon
Winds of change are blowing by
The transformative force of change is in progress
Mountains crumble and cities fall
Symbolic representation of significant upheavals
Don't come to an end
Highlighting continuity despite apparent destruction
Just lie scattered on the
Remains endure despite the passage of time
Desert floor
Reinforcing the harsh conditions of the environment
Waiting for the wind
Anticipating change or revival brought by the wind
Chorus
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of change
You got your life planned carefully
Life plans can be disrupted by unforeseen circumstances
But you left out one detail
An overlooked or unexpected element in life planning
The hidden hand deals just one round
Fate or destiny plays a decisive and unpredictable role
And the winds of change prevail
The inevitable force of change prevails despite planning
Chorus
Reiteration of the transformative power of change
Walk softly through the desert sand
Advice to navigate cautiously with past experiences as a guide
Old dreams lead the way
Past dreams may influence or guide current actions
Nothing new in the sands of time
Highlighting the cyclical nature of change
Just changes every day
Change is a constant and dynamic force
Hang on - It's starting again
Anticipation of a recurring cycle of change
Hang on - There's no shelter from
No escape from the inevitable forces of change
The wind
Comparing the impact of change to a powerful and uncontrollable force
Hang on - Like a fire from the sky
Intensifying imagery of change, likening it to a sudden event
Winds of change are blowing by
Reaffirmation of the persistent and transformative nature of change
