Lyrics

I asked the eagle for advice today

Seeking advice from a wise and experienced figure, represented by the eagle.

How to spread my wings and fly away

Asking for guidance on how to embrace new opportunities and take risks.

He said throw all caution to the wind

Suggesting the importance of abandoning caution and embracing bold decisions.

Take a leap of faith and jump right in

Encouragement to take a leap of faith and dive into new experiences.


I heard a mother whisper to her babe

Observing a mother advising her child about the challenges of taking initial steps.

The first steps are the hardest ones to take

Acknowledging the difficulty of the first steps and offering reassurance.

It's okay, if you shake

Acceptance of challenges, even if accompanied by uncertainty or fear.

Get up and try again, you'll find the strength

Encouraging resilience, urging to try again and discover inner strength.


Be mindful, be brave, don't be afraid of change

You'll find the reason for your pain in time

Be grateful, be great, don't forget to play

Go out and find what makes you feel alive

Encouraging exploration to find activities that bring joy and vitality.

And do it for the rest of your life

Emphasizing the idea of pursuing passion throughout one's life.


I still have some questions for the ocean tide

Persisting with questions directed at the unpredictable nature of the ocean tide.

Like how to come and go, fall after I rise

Reflecting on the cyclical nature of life, with moments of falling and rising.

Learn to sway, ride the waves

Encouragement to adapt and navigate challenges, akin to riding waves.

Let the moonlight lead the way

Guidance to let intuition, represented by moonlight, guide the way.


Be mindful, be brave, don't be afraid of change

You'll find the reason for your pain in time

The less I speak, the more I grow

Highlighting personal growth through the choice to speak less and learn more.

The more I learn the less I know

Expressing the paradox of learning more as one realizes the extent of their ignorance.

'Cause I dont know anything at all
