Hero's Journey
Embracing the Hero's Journey: Triumph over Fear and Finding Love
Lyrics
If I was singing and you were the one who would hear
If I were expressing myself through song and you were the listener
I'd tell you my story of failing to conquer my fears
I would share my experiences of struggling with and not overcoming my fears
I'd ring this old bell and I'd hope that you'd understand
I would symbolically signal my message, hoping for your comprehension
That the reason I'm bleeding's the same one there's blood on your hands
The source of my pain is the same as the cause of guilt or responsibility you bear
But though I'm still reeling, my heart's still true
Despite the ongoing emotional turmoil, my sincerity remains
I'll carry the weight that I'm due
I'll accept the consequences that are rightfully mine
There were times I felt like giving up it's true
There were instances when I contemplated giving up, but...
But there's so much a smile can do
A smile has the power to uplift and inspire
So I stopped and I thought about nothing and breathing as one
I paused to reflect, focusing on nothing and synchronizing breath
And I floated right into the great yellow ball of the sun
I transcended into a state of enlightenment represented by the sun
But if three chords and words that I wrote can do nothing for you
If my music and words, simple as they are, fail to impact you
Well at least I tried, now I know what my dreaming can do
At least I attempted, discovering the potential of my dreams
But I want you to know that I hope for the best in the end
I maintain hope for a positive outcome in the end
And if nothing else matters I still count you as a friend
Even if nothing else holds significance, I value our friendship
But if it seems carving flesh into stone is what we must do
If it appears that drastic measures are necessary
Let us break through the ashes and find our way back to the new
Let's overcome difficulties and find a new path forward
So I floated on waves in a sea of mine own design
I navigate through the waves of my own creation
And I let go of all sense of place, self, meaning, and time
I release attachment to identity, meaning, and temporal constraints
And the skeleton man in the clouds smiled at me from above
A symbolic figure in the sky encourages me with a smile
He said do what you want boy, but make sure you're living with love
Guidance suggests pursuing desires but ensuring love is integral
So someday with music and laughter I shall return
In the future, I'll return with joy through music and laughter
With no inner struggle, around me I'll watch the past burn
No internal conflict; witnessing the past fade away
And I'll dance around that fire until you reach out your hand
I'll celebrate freely until you extend a helping hand
I know it's far off, but our eyes will be smiling again
Anticipating a distant future when our eyes will reflect happiness again
