I'll Be Home Soon
Journey of Longing: Embracing Home in 'I'll Be Home Soon'
Lyrics
Life it just goes on when the traveler's gone
Life continues even when the traveler is absent.
And that's the hardest part, for time has no respect
The most challenging aspect is that time does not show consideration.
For a lonely man with a longing heart
Describes the difficulty faced by a lonely man with a yearning heart.
Cause once you're where you've wanted, everything's so fast
After reaching a desired destination, everything seems to move quickly.
But I'll be home soon
Expresses the anticipation of returning home soon.
I'll be home soon
Reiterates the certainty of returning home soon.
And if you have a place where you belong
Highlights the fortune of having a place to belong.
You're a lucky one, for time was meant to waste
Suggests that time is intended to be spent in places where one belongs.
A laugh with good old friends or walking hand in hand
Mentions the joy of sharing laughter with old friends or walking hand in hand.
I can't believe I'll be there and this time I can stay
Expresses disbelief at the prospect of being home and the ability to stay this time.
But I'll be home soon
Reaffirms the imminent return home.
I'll be home soon
Repeats the assurance of returning home soon.
So chariot come, swing low 'cause I'm hard to see
Invokes the image of a chariot, possibly a metaphor for a means of returning home.
So far below, 'cause this place tries so hard
Describes the challenging environment that strives to break a person.
To break a man and I've tried to stand
Expresses the effort to stand against the challenges.
But I'm drowning in its sorrows, need to catch my breath
Conveys the feeling of being overwhelmed by the difficulties and needing a break.
But I'll be home soon
Reiterates the anticipation of returning home soon.
I'll be home soon
Confirms the certainty of returning home soon.
