Getting There
Chasing Gold: Embracing Life's Journey with Terri Clark's 'Getting There'
Lyrics
Well the sun sets in the west
Reflecting on the sunset in the west, symbolizing the end of a journey or phase.
But as fast as you go, how would you know
Questioning the awareness of one's surroundings when moving too quickly.
You're a busy boy, I guess
Describing a busy lifestyle, possibly driven by external goals.
Who just wants the gold at the end of the road
Desire for success without fully experiencing the journey.
Think of all you miss
Encouraging reflection on missed experiences or moments.
Passing through like this
Emphasizing the transient nature of life, passing through without fully absorbing it.
You want an answer as soon as you say a prayer
Expressing a desire for immediate answers to prayers.
You want to land the moment you're in the air
Impatience for results, wanting to achieve goals quickly.
Baby the living is all in the getting there
Highlighting the idea that the essence of life is found in the journey, not just the destination.
Don't be the first in every line
Advice to avoid always being the first in every situation.
Now and then you can be at the end
Suggesting occasional acceptance of being at the end, embracing different perspectives.
'cause there's only so much time
Acknowledging the limited time available in life.
And you can't get back every minute you spend
Warning about the irreversibility of time and the importance of using it wisely.
You're not even sure
Expressing uncertainty about the motivations behind one's pursuits.
What you're running for
Questioning the purpose or goal of the current endeavors.
You want an answer as soon as you say a prayer
Reiteration of the desire for quick answers through prayers.
You want to land the moment you're in the air
Impatience for instant success, wanting to achieve goals upon initiation.
Baby the living is all in the getting there
Reemphasizing that the true essence of life lies in the journey itself.
Think of all you miss
Repeating the importance of reflecting on missed experiences.
Passing through like this
Reiterating the transient nature of life, passing through without fully absorbing it.
You want an answer as soon as you say a prayer
Restating the desire for immediate answers through prayers.
You want to land the moment you're in the air
Continued impatience for instant success and achievement.
Baby the living is all in the getting there
Reaffirming that the essence of life is found in the journey, not just the destination.
The living is all in the getting there
Reiterating that the true essence of living is in the process of getting there.
Getting there
Emphasizing the importance of the journey, encapsulated in the phrase "Getting there."
