Baby
Innocence Unveiled: Embracing Life's Journey Through Steve Forbert's 'Baby'
Lyrics
The world is new in your newborn eyes
The world appears fresh and new through the eyes of a newborn.
You got no shame and you tell no lies
The newborn is innocent, without shame, and truthful.
Your slate is clean and your mind is free
The newborn's slate of experiences is blank, and their mind is open.
Your soul is pure let it shine on me
The newborn's soul is pure, and the speaker wishes to bask in that purity.
Let it shine, oh baby, baby
An encouragement for the baby to radiate its purity.
Let it shine, yes let the whole thing breathe
An urging for the entire environment to breathe and embrace the purity.
Let it shine, baby
Reiteration of the desire for the baby's purity to shine.
A concrete town and a deep blue sea
Description of the contrasting elements of a concrete town and a vast sea.
A highway sign and some lonesome trees
Reference to mundane elements like a highway sign and lonesome trees.
The mountains reach and the rivers flow
Nature's grandeur with mountains and flowing rivers.
They wait for you in the year's too long
The anticipation of these natural wonders for the baby in the future.
Let it shine, yeah baby, baby
Encouragement for the baby to shine amidst these surroundings.
Let it shine, let the whole thing breathe
An appeal for the entire environment to allow the baby's radiance.
Just let it shine, oh baby
Reiteration of the desire for the baby's purity to shine.
Prayers up to a God
Prayers directed towards God for the well-being and destiny of the baby.
Prayers up to a God
-Prayers up to a God to your soul for the key
-Sad old city moon
Repetition of a sad city moon, possibly reflecting on the world's challenges.
Sad old city moon
-Sad old city moon
-Sit down, down watched you sleep
Observation of the baby sleeping and the speaker's affectionate feelings.
Yes you little baby
-You'll travel up and you'll travel down
Life's journey described with the inevitability of living, dying, and facing mortality.
Walk the road while the world spins around
-With twinkling stars high above your head
-You'll live and die and you'll end up dead
-Let it shine, oh baby, baby
Encouragement for the baby's radiance, repeating the earlier sentiment.
Let it shine, yes, let the whole thing breathe
An appeal for the entire environment to allow the baby's radiance.
Let it shine, oh baby
Reiteration of the desire for the baby's purity to shine.
