Give It A Rest
Embracing Change: A Musical Journey of Reflection and Redemption
Lyrics
Give it a rest
Encouragement to stop or pause
Don’t try to make it happen
Discouragement from forcing things
Did you forget?
Reminder of a past instruction or knowledge
You’ve gotta kick the habit
Advice to break a recurring behavior
You can’t remake the world according to your will
Limitations on reshaping the world as desired
Oh, blessed boy
Addressing someone with positive connotations
Our golden child of promise
Referring to an esteemed and promising individual
We have enjoyed the light you shed upon us
Expressing gratitude for the positive impact
Let us attend unto that frail and weary flame
Encouraging attention to a delicate and fading flame
The weight of all the earth
Acknowledging a heavy burden not meant for the individual
Was never yours to bear
Reflection on the inevitability of learning through life
I guess we live and learn
Acceptance of the learning process
Where can we be, but here?
Recognition of the present moment
Shimmering jewel
Complimenting a significant and dazzling individual
Your mother’s crowning glory
Referencing the admirable aspect of one's origin
Son of a fool
Identifying someone with unconventional choices
You chose another story
Choosing a different path than expected
A family, made out of more than flesh and bone
Emphasizing a connection beyond biological ties
I know you’re tired
Acknowledging weariness in the individual
It is a labored livin’
Describing a burdensome existence
Much is required
Stating the responsibility that comes with abundance
of whom to much is given
Highlighting the obligation corresponding to received blessings
Don’t leave us here
Requesting not to abandon the current situation
We need you now just as before
Expressing a continuing need for support
I wanna hear you sing again at the top of your lungs as we hit the interstate
Expressing a desire to witness joy and enthusiasm again
Just like it’s sunny with a high of 75, a glory that never fades
Referencing a positive and unchanging state
I know it’s harder than we ever imagined, but Brother Bear, we are on the way
Acknowledging challenges but expressing commitment to support
I wanna hear you sing again at the top of your lungs not a note out of place
Reiterating the wish to hear a joyful expression
Give it a rest
Repetition of the initial encouragement to take a break
Don’t try to make it happen
Reiteration of discouragement from forcing a situation
Did you forget?
Repeating the reminder of past knowledge or instruction
You’ve gotta kick the habit
Restating the advice to break a recurring behavior
You can’t remake the world
Reiteration of the limitation on reshaping the world
