Lyrics
Trapped and alone
Feeling confined and isolated
You work to the bone
Working hard, possibly to the point of exhaustion
Just so you don't fall behind
Striving to avoid falling behind in life
You put on a show
Presenting a facade or performance
So everyone knows
Ensuring that others are aware of your efforts
You're making the most of your time
Maximizing the use of time
And it wears you out, I know
Acknowledging the wear and tear from these efforts
But I'll be there when you need me
Promising support for the difficult times
It won't always be easy
Recognizing that challenges won't be constant
We can look for a meaning, ooh
Exploring the search for meaning
And build a world we believe in
Aspiring to construct a shared and meaningful reality
Outside the walls
Emphasizing the potential beyond limitations
There's room to be small
Space for vulnerability and authenticity
To feel things you never felt
Experiencing emotions previously unknown
In the calm after the storm
Finding tranquility after challenges
We can make the place we long for
Creating a desired environment
Take our time and make amends
Mending past mistakes with patience
For how we lived before
Reflecting on previous life choices
I'll be there when you need me
Reiterating the commitment to support
It won't always be easy
Acknowledging the inevitable challenges
We can look for a meaning, ooh
Continuing the search for meaning
And build a world we believe in
Collaborating to build a shared, meaningful world
There's a fire in us all
Highlighting the universal inner strength
What we need is a spark
Desiring a catalyst for positive change
This world won't give it to us
Recognizing the world's reluctance to provide it
So if you'll be mine
Proposing a mutual commitment
Then I'll be yours
Expressing reciprocal dedication
I'll be there when you need me
Reassuring support during challenging moments
It won't always be easy
Emphasizing the variability of ease and difficulty
We can look for a meaning, ooh
Persisting in the quest for significance
And build a world we believe in
Continuing to build a shared reality based on belief
We believe in
Affirming collective faith in the constructed world
