Lyrics
One sweet day when my life is finally over
Anticipation of a future moment when life ends.
Then I don't have to worry any more
Expressing relief from worries after life concludes.
I am bound on a path so filled with glory
Being on a glorious life path with a predetermined destiny.
And I'll meet you over there on the other shore
Expectation of meeting someone on the afterlife's shore.
In this life there's always time to change
Life provides opportunities for change.
Might feel a little bit weird at first
Acknowledging the initial discomfort of change.
Yeah it may sound a little strange
Change might seem unusual at first.
But one sweet day when my life is finally over
Reiteration of the anticipated day when life ends.
I'm gonna meet you over there on the other shore
Expectation of meeting someone on the other shore after death.
One sweet day when my life is finally over
Repetition of the theme of life's end and relief from worry.
Then I don't have to worry no more, no more
Emphasizing the absence of worry after life concludes.
I am bound on a path so filled with glory
Being on a glorious life path with a predetermined destiny (repeated).
And I'll meet you over there on the other shore
Expectation of meeting someone on the afterlife's shore (repeated).
Cause in this life there's no time for regret
Emphasizing the lack of time for regret in this life.
Sooner or later, gotta lay down your burden
Life requires letting go of burdens sooner or later.
Forgive and forget
Encouragement to forgive and forget.
But one sweet day when my life is finally over
Reiteration of the anticipated day when life ends (repeated).
I'm gonna meet you over there on the other shore
Expectation of meeting someone on the other shore after death (repeated).
One sweet day when my life is finally over
Repetition of the theme of life's end and relief from worry (repeated).
Then I don't have to worry no more, no more
Emphasizing the absence of worry after life concludes (repeated).
I am bound on a path so filled with glory
Being on a glorious life path with a predetermined destiny (repeated).
And I'll meet you over there on the other shore
Expectation of meeting someone on the afterlife's shore (repeated).
In this world you don't get no second chance
Highlighting the lack of second chances in this world.
So when the band strikes up and starts playin' your song
Encouragement to seize the moment when your song plays.
You better dance, sister, dance
Urging someone to dance when the opportunity arises.
But one sweet day when my life is finally over
Reiteration of the anticipated day when life ends (repeated).
I'm gonna meet' you over there on the other shore
Expectation of meeting someone on the other shore after death (repeated).
