Wild Strawberries
Finding Freedom: Symbolism in 'Wild Strawberries' Song
Lyrics
In fields of grass
In nature's expanse
And broken glass
Amidst challenges and obstacles
I pick my wild strawberries
I gather the untamed fruits of life
I'm not a flame
I am not a blazing fire
And if it's all the same
If the situation remains unchanged
I'm a captive on this ferry
I am confined on this journey
Now the ferry
Now the vessel
She floats high and wide
It glides with height and width
And she's so open
It is so exposed
That it's hard to hide
That concealing oneself is challenging
She keeps moving on
It continues its journey
Like the break of dawn
Like the arrival of daylight
And she'll mow you down
And it can overpower you
Like a raging storm!
Similar to a violent tempest!
Now you know the sea
Now you understand the ocean
Was meant to be
Was destined to be
The king of all our nature
The ruler of our essence
Now the ferry's frail
Now the vessel is delicate
But she'll always sail
Yet it will persistently navigate
And the sea can make no wager
And the ocean cannot place bets
When the sun goes down
As the evening arrives
You might look around
You might survey
And find a man, His name is Jesus
And encounter a figure, named Jesus
He draws a crowd
He attracts attention
But He's not too loud
But his demeanor is subdued
You might listen if it pleases
You may choose to listen
What He's got to say
What he imparts
Might make your day
Could brighten your day
If it don't, He'll keep on tryin
If not, he persists in attempting
He's got all the patience
He possesses immense endurance
In the world
And he is unafraid of death, NO!
And he's not afraid of dying, NO!
He's the only answer
To the predicament
To the cause
Of disembarking from that vessel
Of gettin off that ferry
If you miss your destination
If you miss your stop
Well, don't surrender
Well don't give up
Just gather the unrestrained joys of life
Just pick your wild strawberries
