Child I Used To Be
Rediscovering Joy: Embracing Playful Energy and Self-Transformation
Lyrics
The mind makes a bad master he can be a good servant too
The mind can be both a negative influence and a positive force, depending on whether it controls or serves.
You just gotta figure out what it is you want to do
Discover your purpose and goals to make effective decisions.
Oh there’s different strokes for different folks you always get what you need most
People have different needs, and life provides what is essential for each individual.
I do not believe in destiny it all depends on what you want to see
Belief in destiny is subjective; outcomes depend on one's perspective and desires.
They throw their sticks and stones don’t it personally
Don't take personal offense at negativity; it's often a projection of others' issues.
Projection is a bad defense see the opportunity
Defense mechanisms like projection hinder recognizing opportunities.
Oh those sticks and stones can build a home
Negative experiences can be transformed into something positive, like building a home.
With sticks of love and stones of hope
Using love and hope, even from difficult experiences, can create something meaningful.
The game of Life can a pain but without that pain there ain’t no gain
Life's challenges are essential for personal growth and achievement.
I can smile again like the child I used to be
Rediscovering joy and innocence, reminiscent of childhood.
I can feel a force inside of playful energy
Feeling a rejuvenating force within, characterized by playful energy.
I look in the mirror now and like who’s looking back at me
Positive self-reflection; finding satisfaction in one's current self.
I can I am finally living peacefully
Attaining inner peace and contentment in life.
I can smile again like the child I used to be
Reiterating the return to a joyful, childlike state.
Spent so much of your life in the pews of the church of reason
Having spent much time in rational thinking, possibly indicating a shift from strict logic.
Now those pews are firewood to fuel your transformation
Previous beliefs or structures are now fuel for personal transformation.
You’re dancing now the way you learned how in the shrine of the devine
Engaging in life with spiritual or divine influences, perhaps symbolized by a shrine.
Do what you gotta do and who knew ascension comes in the nick of time
Transformation often occurs precisely when needed the most.
I can smile again like the child I used to be
Reiteration of rediscovered joy and innocence.
I can feel a force inside of playful energy
Continued experience of a rejuvenating force and playful energy within.
I look in the mirror now and like who’s looking back at me
Positive self-perception and acceptance reflected in the mirror.
I can I am finally living peacefully
Confirmed attainment of peaceful and harmonious living.
I can smile again like the child I used to be
Final repetition of the return to a joyful, childlike state.
