Take Care Lyrics
Take better care of yourself, my friend,
For you never know when it will all come to an end.
'Cause only time will tell
When death shall ring its bell.
So take better care of yourself, my friend.
'Cause you are a single grain;
Tiny molecule
Mistaken for a king,
But only a simple fool.
I will provide you with a reason to believe.
I will not desert you in your time of need.
So sudden, the winds change.
So sudden, you lose your faith.
For you never know when it will all come to an end.
'Cause only time will tell
When death shall ring its bell.
So take better care of yourself, my friend.
Tiny molecule
Mistaken for a king,
But only a simple fool.
I will not desert you in your time of need.
So sudden, you lose your faith.

Two possible readings: 1) The writer is expressing support and care for someone who might be struggling in their life. They remind the person that they're just one small person who has a lot of responsibility placed on them (as per the chorus). 2) About an unborn child - perhaps there have been previous issues with pregnancy.
Either way, a beautiful song and my favourite on the new album.
I think this song is for a fan who is struggling. Dallas is saying that he is there for them, giving them a reason to believe via his music, but that he should not be looked at as a "king," rather, a human helping another human.
