Lyrics

The sun and moon every day,

The sun and moon symbolize the cyclical nature of time.

Day and night, mark my play.

Day and night are markers in the play of life, representing its unfolding.

See the future in the past,

Looking at the past reveals insights into the future.

Try to change or make it last.

Attempting to alter or prolong moments is a human pursuit.

Go for broke, don't regret,

Encouragement to take risks without remorse.

Get your hands dirty, get your feet wet,

Advocates getting involved, experiencing life firsthand.

Take your place, use me well,

Take your position in life and utilize opportunities.

I'm in your hands so make me tell.

The narrator, possibly time, is at the mercy of human actions.

A broken dream seems unkind

A shattered aspiration may seem harsh, but time can provide solace.

But I can help for I am time.

Time asserts its ability to offer assistance in coping with disappointments.

I can heal you.

Time can be a source of healing.

It's not a matter of sleight

Issues are not about trickery but about the essence of sound or music.

Only of sound.

Emphasizes the importance of auditory experiences.

Let me... feel for you,

A plea to empathize with others.

Feel for yourself,

Suggests introspection and understanding one's emotions.

The love all around.

Love is omnipresent and should be acknowledged.

I can... lead you.

Time can guide or lead individuals.

Is your soul afraid

Asks if the soul fears the consequences of one's actions.

Of what you've made?

Reflects on the impact of personal creations.

Do you know the way

Questioning awareness of the path one's spirit takes.

The spirit goes?

A pause for contemplation.


All around, on the wind

Sounds in the wind carry messages about the narrator's influence.

Distant whispers of what I bring,

Whispers hint at the impact of the narrator's actions on lovers.

In the day in the night,

Day and night encapsulate the expressions of love.

Locked in the words of lovers' delight.

Love is encapsulated in the words shared between lovers.

If I'm lost or mislaid

Even if lost, there's encouragement to keep searching without fear.

Just keep looking, don't be afraid.

Reassurance that the narrator's essence can be found in the search.

In the eye, on the mind,

The narrator's presence is in perception and thought.

I'm everything and yours to find.

Asserts that the narrator is all-encompassing and waiting to be discovered.

I'm not far, just discover.

Encourages exploration to find the narrator's essence.

I'm in you for I am love.

The narrator is identified as love, intertwined with individuals.


I can heal you.

Reiteration of the narrator's ability to heal.

It's not a matter of sleight

Reemphasizes that the healing is related to the essence of sound.

Only of sound.

Repeats the plea to empathize with others through music.

Let me... feel for you,

Encourages self-reflection through music.

Feel for yourself,

Encourages understanding and acknowledging the love that surrounds.

The love all around.

Reiterates the narrator's ability to guide individuals.

I can... lead you.

Ponders if the soul is fearful of its own creations.

Is your soul afraid

Repeats the question about the soul's fear.

Of what you've made?

Asks if one understands the spiritual path taken.

Do you know the way

Reiterates the inquiry about awareness of the spirit's journey.

The spirit goes?

Final question about the knowledge of the spiritual path.
