Here in all this blackness,
I feel a sadness and it won't go away
I walk, I follow my pathway,
but there's a question that burns deeper each day
Why am I here? Where do I go?
Has someone called me? Then please tell me so
And as I leave the shadows,
I see her sitting there
Night turns into day
She's looking my way

There is grief in her face
She's mourning lost ones
Somehow she seems familiar
Her eyes warm like the sun
She said:
"I know your face, you were there in my dreams
The answer to my prayers and the echo of my screams
This world is still worth saving, but I can't do it alone
I've lost those close to my heart and now I need someone
I don't have all the answers and I don't know what you are,
but goodness lies within you, and I'm asking you to save us all"

You are the one who called me here,
and I wish I could take away your fear
I heard your prayers, but I did not know
And I still don't know where I came from, but time will show

You are the one who called me here
I swear I will take away your fear
Hear my promise, I will come back, I will shelter you
I shall fight the wicked with all my strength
I would die for you

    For awhile I thought that Legacy in a Rime was the superior ballad type song compared to She Who SUmmoned Me, but I have to tell you for the past few months I can't get enough of this song. This song is a masterpiece. I love when the female vocals comes in and of course when Lance King jumps in with "You are the one who brought me here." Man great stuff :)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
