Joy Takes a Little While
Embracing Miracles: A Journey of Patience and Joy
Lyrics
You and me sat on the corner
You and I were sitting on the corner
Of our bed where we first made love
Referring to a significant place, the bed, where their intimacy began
Prayed for a moment
Expressing a hopeful moment, possibly praying for assistance
Yeah- we're needing some help from above
Acknowledging a need for divine intervention or support
It's been two years waiting
Describing a two-year period of anticipation
Trying hard to make a child
Struggling with efforts to conceive a child
The doctor he told us
Receiving advice from a doctor about alternative options
"You know there's one more thing we could try"
Indicating openness to additional attempts
When you're wanting a miracle
Expressing the desire for a miracle (a child)
It gets harder to smile
Highlighting the emotional challenge of maintaining positivity
Oh, sometimes joy takes a little while
Stating that joy and miracles may take time to manifest
Two surgeries later
Describing subsequent medical procedures
On the 4th floor of St Mary's ward
Locating the events on the 4th floor of St. Mary's ward
She's crying in my arms
Depicting a poignant moment with the newborn and shared emotions
This 7 pound newborn
Describing the birth of a 7-pound baby
I look at her mama
Expressing pride and admiration towards the child's mother
With the proudest eyes in the world
Reflecting the happiness in the father's eyes
She starts to sing
Transitioning to a celebratory moment with singing "Happy Birthday"
"Happy Birthday" to our little girl
Connecting the celebration to the birth of their daughter
When you're holding a miracle
Expressing the joy of holding their miracle (baby)
Yeah- it's hard not to smile
Acknowledging the difficulty of containing happiness in such moments
Oh- sometimes joy takes a little while
Reiterating that joy sometimes requires patience
If you're needing a miracle
Advising others in need of a miracle to persevere
And your heart's on the line
Addressing situations where one's emotions are deeply invested
Hold on, joy takes a little while
Encouraging persistence, emphasizing that joy takes time
If you're walking in darkness
Metaphorically referring to challenging or difficult times
And all you want is for that sun to rise
Expressing a longing for a positive change or resolution
Hold on, joy takes a little while
Reiterating the message that joy requires patience and endurance
