Little Boat
Navigating Life's Uncertainties with The Green House Band
Lyrics
In Western rocky rain
In the challenging Western terrain where rocks and rain prevail
Never reach the sun we run
We continue our journey without reaching the sun
Full footsteps work undone
Efforts and footsteps go unfinished
And no shame and none to blame
No shame, no one to blame
This engine's steam is clearin'
The engine's steam is clearing, a metaphor for clarity
As sure as streams can grow
As certain as streams can grow
Unsure as man this little boat I row
The narrator rows a little boat, uncertain like mankind
Unsure as man this little boat I row
Repetition for emphasis on uncertainty in the narrator's journey
We're all a little broken
We are all imperfect or damaged
But I don't need fixin'
No need for fixing, embracing imperfections
I could use a little time
The narrator could use some time
I could use a little love
The narrator could use a little love
This woman's heart is stealin'
A woman's heart is captivating the narrator
My mind and dreams below
Mind and dreams are below, possibly indicating vulnerability
Unsure as man this little boat she rows
The woman rows a little boat, also uncertain in her journey
Unsure as man this little boat she rows
Reiteration of uncertainty in the woman's journey
Ooh just let it go
An urging to let go of burdens or worries
Ooh just let it go
-Ooh just let it go
-They say there's gold uphill
There's a belief that there's wealth uphill
But to get you gotta kill
To attain, one might have to make sacrifices or face challenges
I'll play my keys instead
The narrator chooses to play music (keys) instead
Till the day that I drop dead
Commitment to the passion until the end of life
To this song my heart's adherin'
The heart adheres to the song, suggesting a deep connection
And I'll sing it to the end
Commitment to singing the song until the end
Unsure as man this little boat we row
Collective uncertainty expressed by a group rowing a little boat
Unsure as man this little boat we row
-Unsure as man this little boat we row
-Unsure as man this little boat we row
-Ooh just let it go
Repetition emphasizing the encouragement to let go
Ooh just let it go
-Ooh just let it go
-Ooh just let it go
-Ooh just let it go
-Ooh just let it go
-Ooh just let it go
-Ooh just let it go
A final plea to release and let go of burdens
