All the Things I Wanted
Embracing Wisdom Amid Yearning
Lyrics
Somebody told me sadness makes a space
Someone advised that experiencing sadness creates a void.
Inside your soul where wisdom takes its place
Within that void, wisdom finds its place in the soul.
Somebody told me not to waste my turn
Received counsel not to waste opportunities.
Everything goes up someday I'd like to learn to fly
Expresses a desire to learn to rise above challenges.
I don't want to fall apart
Expresses a fear of emotional breakdown.
Or hide behind love's broken door
Not willing to hide behind the pain of love.
I don't want to leave and wonder why
Doesn't want to leave without understanding the reasons.
I don't want to walk away
Resists walking away from situations.
Looking over my shoulder for
Constantly looking back for the desired things in life.
All the things I wanted in life
Expresses the yearning for unfulfilled aspirations.
Someday I'm gonna have to mark my skin
Anticipates marking the skin as a symbolic representation of experiences.
To show you what I've seen and where I've been
Wants to share what has been seen and experienced.
Someday I'm gonna have to take my turn
Expects a turn to come in life.
Everything comes down someday I'd like to learn to fly
Expresses a desire to learn to rise even when things fall.
I don't want to fall apart
Fears the possibility of emotional breakdown.
Or hide behind love's broken door
Refuses to hide behind the pain caused by love.
I don't want to leave and wonder why
Doesn't want to depart without understanding why.
I don't want to walk away
Rejects the idea of walking away from challenges.
Looking over my shoulder for
Continues to look back for desired life goals.
All the things I wanted in life
Expresses the ongoing pursuit of unfulfilled aspirations.
Don't want to say goodbye
Strongly expresses a reluctance to say goodbye.
