Lonely River
Journey of the Soul: Embracing the Unknown with 'Lonely River'
Lyrics
You meander like a road
You move slowly and aimlessly, similar to a winding road.
Stretching out into the great unknown
Extending into the unknown, facing uncertainty.
With solitary movement
Your movement is solitary, suggesting a sense of loneliness.
You're compelled and you're enthralled
You are compelled and captivated by something.
As though you're answering a distant call
Responding to a distant call or beckoning.
Lonely river
Addressing the river as lonely, emphasizing its solitude.
Is there a place you're running to
Questioning if there's a specific destination or purpose in your journey.
Or is it something that you're running from
Wondering if you are escaping from something rather than heading towards a goal.
Is it hope that keeps you going
Exploring the possibility that hope is a driving force in your journey.
Is it faith that makes you strong
Suggesting that faith provides strength during the journey.
Lonely river, lonely river, running on
Repeating the concept of the river running on, emphasizing continuity.
Lonely river
Reiterating the loneliness and ongoing nature of the river's journey.
In the stillness of the night
During the quiet night, your restless nature persists.
Your restless nature keeps you raging on
Continuing to move forward, changing directions dynamically.
Changing courses
Reference to the river altering its course.
Shallow waters, tangent streams
Mentioning shallow waters and tangent streams, possibly symbolizing challenges.
Lonely river, do you wonder what it means
Asking if the river contemplates the meaning of its journey.
Lonely river
Reiterating the solitude of the river.
I think I am a lot like you
Expressing personal identification with the lonely river.
Winding on in hopes to find the sea
Comparing one's own journey to the river's, seeking a destination.
And flooded by uncertainties
Facing uncertainties and challenges along the way.
The current can be strong
Acknowledging the strength of the river's current.
But drifting towards our destinies
Despite challenges, moving toward destinies.
The arm of God is long
Believing in the guiding influence of a higher power.
And I believe that through this journey
Expressing faith in the journey until reaching a final destination.
'Til we're finally home
Emphasizing the belief in not being alone on the journey.
Lonely river, we will never, run alone
Affirming that, as a lonely river, the journey is shared and continuous.
