Cycles
Navigating Life's Cycles: A Reflection on Growth and Choices
Lyrics
Good morning
Starting the day with a greeting
Just sitting here drinking my tea
Relaxing while drinking tea
How did I get to all these places that I told you I would?
Reflecting on achieving previously mentioned goals
I ran up and watched the greats like a young man should
Observing and learning from accomplished individuals
I paid attention to the ways that they spoke and stood
Paying attention to the mannerisms and words of successful people
Then I paved my own lane and gave it back if I could
Creating one's own path and giving back to others
How did I get to all these places that I told you I would?
Reiteration of reflection on past promises
I ran up and watched the greats like a young man should
Revisiting the influence of admirable figures in youth
I paid attention to the ways that they spoke and stood
Being mindful of the behaviors and expressions of role models
Then I paved my own lane and gave it back if I could
Charting a unique course and contributing positively
I'm feeling viscous when I'm focused on the future ahead
Feeling determined and purposeful about the future
I spent a lot of every Christmas looking back and upset
Spending past Christmases reflecting and feeling regretful
I never thought to make a moment
Realizing the importance of seizing the moment
Now I'm filled with regret
Expressing remorse for missed opportunities
But now I know how I should live until the day that I'm dead
Learning to live meaningfully until the end
This life is all about the balance that you're holding everyday
Emphasizing the significance of maintaining life balance
It comes with different types of talents
Recognizing diverse talents as part of one's identity
That's your soul and your name
Linking talents to the essence of one's soul and name
I know it kinda seems childish but I noticed it's a game
Acknowledging the playful nature of life's challenges
So if you wanna see what happens
Encouraging letting go of pain to witness change
Just let go of the pain
Addressing personal struggles projected onto a screen
It's all these issues
Admitting to facing personal issues
I project 'em on a screen to be read
Conveying struggles through projection for reflection
And that's a misuse of time
Highlighting the misuse of time in dwelling on issues
When I really should rest
Realizing the importance of resting instead of overthinking
Got a lot to still continue if I can then I'm blessed
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to continue
'Cause if I excuse the past
Understanding the need to address the past without excuses
The future can't be addressed
Recognizing the impact of addressing the past on the future
It's just a struggle that I believe that I was meant to go though
Believing that personal struggles are a necessary part of life
To see that I control how I react when I can't control you
Emphasizing personal control over reactions in uncontrollable situations
Comes in waves and maybe cycles
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of challenges
The awareness is true
Asserting the truth in being aware of life's patterns
From many ways to many miles
Highlighting the variety and distance of life experiences
At least I know that I grew
Celebrating personal growth through diverse experiences
How did I get to all these places that I told you I would?
Reflecting on the realization of past promises
I ran up and watched the greats like a young man should
Revisiting the influence of admired figures in youth again
I paid attention to the ways that they spoke and stood
Continuing to observe and learn from role models
And then I paved my own lane and gave it back if I could
Continuing to create a unique path and give back
How did I get to all these places that I told you I would?
Repeating the reflection on achieving previously mentioned goals
I ran up and watched the greats like a young man should
Revisiting the influence of admired figures in youth once more
I paid attention to the ways that they spoke and stood
Persisting in being mindful of role models' behaviors and expressions
And then I paved my own lane and gave it back if I could
Continuing to chart a unique course and contribute positively
