The Great Divide
Journey Through the Great Divide: Finding Peace in City Lights
Lyrics
I head east towards the city
Initiating a journey towards the city in the east.
And when the sun goes down I'm heading home again
Returning home when the sun sets.
The city lights have left me empty
Feeling a sense of emptiness caused by the city lights.
They've replaced the stars that used to shine so bright
City lights have replaced the brightness of the stars.
So I will smile and I'll keep you close
Expressing determination to smile and keep someone close.
And when the sun brings in the morning
Anticipating a better day as the morning arrives.
I know today will be better than the last
Believing that today will be an improvement over the past.
As I turn into the evening
Transitioning into the evening.
I pray my dreams will come and I'll cross the great divide
Praying for dreams to come true and crossing a metaphorical "great divide."
Don't, don't go changin'
Encouraging someone not to change.
Please, please come and save me
Pleading for someone to come and save the speaker.
With your smile, you keep me close
Expressing the positive impact of someone's smile in keeping the speaker close.
Oh how you move me
Acknowledging the moving effect of someone on the speaker.
With your love, oh how it swept right through me
Describing how love has deeply affected the speaker.
And with your smile you bring heaven
Attributing heavenly qualities to the impact of someone's smile.
They say the west is home to reason
Referring to the west as a place associated with reason.
So that's where I've gone
Stating that the speaker has gone to the west.
I've gone to meet my maker
Expressing a journey to meet the maker or purpose.
And when I find what I was made for
Searching for the purpose and meaning of existence.
This soul of mine will finally find some peace
Believing that finding one's purpose will bring peace to the soul.
So I will smile and I'll see you there
Reiterating the determination to smile and envisioning a meeting in the afterlife.
