Rise, let us see you,
Dawning is the day.
Miss, misty meadow,
You will find your way.
Wake up in the morning, to yourself,
And leave this crazy life behind you.
Listen, we're trying to find you.
Flow to the sea,
You know where to go.
But still we are free,
No one tells the wind which way to blow.
Wake up in the morning to yourself,
Open your eyes and start to be you.
Listen, we think we can see you.
Baby there's no price upon your head,
Sing it, shout it,
Now the angry words have all been said,
Do it, don't doubt it.
So rise, let us see you,
Dawning is the day.
Miss, misty meadow,
You will find your way.
Wake up in the morning to yourself,
Open your head and look around you.
Listen, we think we have found you.
Listen we think we have found you.
Listen we think we have found you.
Listen we think we have found you.
Listen we think we have found you.
Listen we think we have found you.
Listen we think we can see you.

    I imagine this to be someone who has left the world of capitalism telling people to do the same. A hippie dream.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
