You could turn a hundred years and never empty all you fears
They're pouring out like broken words and broken bones
They could fill a thousand pages, be the cry for all the ages
And the song for every soul who stands alone
The ache of life is more than you are able

Hold on love, don't give up
Don't close your eyes
The light is breaking through the night

Step out into the day
All the clouds and all the rain are gone
It's over now
Step out into the sun, for you have only begun to know
What it's all about
As the hungering dark gives way to the dawn, my love
It's over now

Time will let the story told grow and grow 'til it unfolds
In a way that even you cannot ignore
You can say the seasons change but never if you just remain
In a place where the freeze is at your door
What you don't know is the signs are right for the turning tide

Hold on, hold on
It won't be long
So hold on

    From what I understand, this song basically says that even if life is hard to bare now, things can always get better. Things are always changing, and whats to keep the next change from being a good one?

    This song is basically about how the fears, struggles, and aches of us could hold us down. First verse is about how that ache of life and fear and struggles of life can pin us down and we could waste all our days in mourning. Instead, we should step out "into the day" and the Sun symbolizes the life that Jesus offers that regardless of what one goes through he is the light. "were you've only begun to know what its all about" talking about we've only known a small glimpse of who God is and the fullness of life he offers.

    Second verse is like the first that "time will let the story told grow until it unfolds in a way that even you cannot ignore" is i think about the story of Jesus unfolding as we know him more. He also says "you can say the season change but not if you just remain in a place where it freezes at your door" is about the excuses we have due to what pins us down and steals our joy "ache of life/fears/etc" how we give into those circumstances and essentially we prefer to feel bad for ourselves rather than "step out into the day" and the light of God. Like we waste our time meditating and giving into our fears and struggles. Instead, bebo norman is encouraging to step out regardless of circumstances and hold on

    Basically there are two options: to stay at a place to dwell on our fears and aches and what we've been through or "step out" of that and stop meditating on our failures

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
