Light Beams
Journey Through Time: A Song of Youth and Wisdom
Lyrics
When you're young
Reflecting on youth
You are daddy's little girl
Highlighting the paternal relationship
And your room.
Describing a personal space
Feels like outer space
Conveying a sense of vastness and wonder
You're a star
Metaphorically portraying the individual as a star
Traveling on from place to place
Emphasizing movement and exploration
Years go by like shooting light streams gleam
Commenting on the swift passage of time
Years go by like shooting lights beam
Repeating the theme of time passing rapidly
When you're young
Revisiting the theme of youth and confidence
And you think you know it all
Suggesting a sense of arrogance in youth
And the World
Attributing power and control to the youthful perspective
It bows to your command
Imagining a world that obeys the individual's will
You may be queen
Acknowledging a maturation process
You may be queen
Repeating the acknowledgment of maturation
But you're still a little girl to me
Balancing maturity with a reminder of youth
Years go by like shooting light streams gleam
Reiterating the rapid passage of time metaphor
Years go by like shooting lights beam
Reiterating the theme of fleeting time
When we're old
Shifting focus to old age and retrospection
And we look back on the past
Reflecting on looking back at one's history
We'll believe
Believing in the predetermined nature of events
In it’s destiny
Emphasizing the inevitability of destiny
Cause you and I
Highlighting a shared belief between individuals
Have faith enough to realize
Expressing faith and understanding
Years go by like shooting light streams gleam
Repeating the metaphor of time as shooting light streams
Years go by like shooting light streams gleam
Reiterating the idea of time passing swiftly
Years go by like shooting lights beam
Reinforcing the concept of time as shooting lights beam
