Three More Days
Journey Home: Embracing Love and Longing
Lyrics
Three more days and then I'll see
Anticipation of reuniting with dependents soon
The people who depend on me
Responsibility towards those relying on the speaker
Three more days and I'm home
Counting down the days until returning home
Not long now till I step inside
Close proximity to entering the shared living space
The place where we all reside
Reference to the common dwelling place
Three more days and I'm home.
Reiterating the imminent return home
And life's rolled on and on
The passage of time while away
The whole time I've been gone
Continued existence during the absence
I walked around today feeling right
A sense of contentment or alignment with the surroundings
I dreamed about each one of them last night
Thoughts or reflections on loved ones during sleep
Three more days and I'm home.
Repeated anticipation of returning home
And life's rolled on and on
Reiteration of time passing while away
The whole time I've been gone
Continued existence during the absence (repeated)
When I close my eyes I can see
Visualizing loved ones in the mind's eye
The faces of my family
Imagery of family members appearing in thoughts
Three more days and I'm home.
Anticipation of the imminent return home (repeated)
Everything that I hold dear
Expressing the emotional significance of distant belongings
Lies five thousand miles from here
Geographical distance between the speaker and what's cherished
Three more days and I'm home,
Counting down the days until returning home (repeated)
Three more days and I'm home,
Reiteration of imminent homecoming (repeated)
Home.
Final emphasis on the concept of 'home'
