Hey You
Hang On and Rejoice: Finding Hope in The Clarks' 'Hey You'
Lyrics
If your gonna jump, hey you hang on
If you're considering taking a drastic action, hold on and reconsider
If you feel like giving up, hey you hang on
Even in moments of despair, don't give up; persevere
Won't forget today sun is bright, sky is blue yeah
Today is memorable; the sun is shining, and the sky is blue
The pain will go away in another year or two
Although experiencing pain, it will diminish over time, possibly in a year or two
If you got a phone, hey you call home
If you have a means of communication, reach out to your home
If you got a voice, hey you rejoice
If you have a voice, find joy and celebrate
Won't forget today sun is bright, sky is blue yeah
Similar to line 3, emphasizing the positive aspects of today
Won't forget to pray day is night, world is new yeah
Reminding to pray, acknowledging the cycle of day and night, and the renewal of the world
Pain will go away in another year or two
Reiteration that pain will fade away, possibly in another year or two
In a hundred years or two
Extending the timeframe to a hundred years or more, suggesting the enduring nature of time
If your gonna fly, hey you don't cry
If you're aspiring to achieve great heights, don't be disheartened
You gotta live to die, hey you goodbye
Emphasizing the importance of living fully, even in the face of eventual mortality
Won't forget today sun is bright, sky in blue yeah
Repeating the positive imagery of the day, night, and a new world
Won't forget to pray day is night world is new yeah
Reiteration of the significance of prayer and the cyclical nature of time
Pain will go away in another year or two
Reassurance that pain will diminish, possibly in another year or two
In a hundred years or two
Extending the timeframe to a hundred years or more, emphasizing the transient nature of suffering
...In a thousand years or two
Further extending the timeframe to a thousand years or more, underscoring the enduring nature of human experiences
