Lyrics
Sunshine warming the small of my back
Sunlight warms the lower part of my back.
Whatever virtues I lack
My positive qualities or strengths that aren’t immediately obvious.
You can't see until I move
Those positive qualities aren’t apparent until I take action.
Until I move in the shade
These qualities are hidden until I’m in a more difficult situation.
Sunshine in the shade
A contrast between sunlight and shadow, possibly referring to duality or contrasting aspects of life.
But then inside
An inner feeling of coldness or emotional distance despite external warmth.
Sometimes I feel so cold
Experiencing self-inflicted emotional pain or setbacks.
Catching these self thrown blows
Bearing the consequences of my own actions or decisions.
But enough of the future I see
Enough foresight to recognize a personal shadow or negative aspect.
A shadow belonging to me
A shadow, symbolizing a darker side or hidden aspect of oneself.
Sunshine in the shade
A repetition of the contrast between light and darkness, hinting at coexistence.
Every man climbs a mountain
Each person faces challenges and strives for personal success.
With the hope to make a stand
Hoping to establish oneself or achieve something significant.
Every man makes a mountain of his life
Everyone builds their own life story and ambitions.
Having a personal blueprint or strategy for life.
Sunshine in the shade
Reiteration of the coexistence of positivity and negativity.
The shade of life
The darker, challenging parts of life.
Gives me hope of
Finding optimism or comfort in difficult situations.
Some time and place
A hope for a better future or circumstance.
