Young Man's Dream
Embracing Freedom: A Young Man's Pursuit of Love and Adventure
Lyrics
You go in the world And find a nice girl
You venture into the world and seek a pleasant relationship with a young woman.
Settle right down In your own home town
You aim to settle down in your hometown and establish a stable life.
Work all your life For the kids and the wife
Your life's work revolves around providing for your children and spouse.
Is that all there is Is that all you live
Questioning whether the routine of family and work is the entirety of one's existence.
Well for me it's not like that
The speaker's perspective differs from the traditional path described earlier.
To be free is where I'm at
They prioritize freedom as their desired state of being.
And the price I'll pay is high
Acknowledging the considerable cost or sacrifice involved in pursuing this freedom.
I may get hurt but I'll get by
Accepting the potential for emotional pain but expressing confidence in overcoming it.
I want to live and I want to learn
Expressing a desire for an adventurous and knowledgeable life.
Cover this world from it's bow to it's stern
Desiring to explore and experience the entire world.
I'm looking for love there's never enough
Seeking love, believing that love is never fully satisfied.
I'll ride with the wind when the goin get's tough
Willingness to confront challenges head-on and persevere.
There's a path I need to find
Feeling the need to discover a particular life path.
To a life I know is mine
Confident that there's a life that belongs to them.
I've got a future in my mind
Having aspirations and plans for the future.
And a past to leave behind
Intending to leave behind a past or history.
There's a world out there it's waiting for me
Awareness of a world full of opportunities awaiting exploration.
It's all in the air you can feel it breath
Sensing the potential and excitement present in the atmosphere.
I'm losin you but that's what I'll pay
Recognizing the potential loss of connection with someone due to their decision to depart.
Do you think you see why I have to leave
Questioning if the other person comprehends the necessity to leave.
There'll be joy for all the fears
Expectation of happiness overcoming fears.
There'll be laughs for all the tears
Belief that laughter will surpass sorrow.
There'll be time for all the years
Anticipation of ample time to make up for lost years or regrets.
And there'll be love when all this clears
Confidence that love will prevail after overcoming obstacles.
It's a young man's dream
Highlighting that the aspirations expressed are typical of a young person.
It's a young man's dream
Reiteration that the dreams and desires discussed earlier are characteristic of youth.
