The song makes me think of all wasted opportunities in life and how often we wish we can turn back time and redo everything. Well, that wakeup call always gets many of us unprepared. In this case, what he heard made him think about his parents and how long he hadn’t spoken to them. Right there and then, he picked his phone and made a call! He knew that those he loved and loved him were most important in this life, and their happiness was something he had to ensure.

Even with this revelation, he continued his routine of stopping at the Texaco, picking a slim Jim and Coke, and proceeding to his space at the river to write a song and sing it to the flowing waters and the oak trees. He is singing in the past, but in the end, it takes up a present continuous tense is where he is doing it now.

Waiting to actualize your dream will only hamper the execution timeline. Therefore, go for it, open up to those who are ready to hear like the oak trees and the flowing river, one of them will offer support and pick you up. And who else can do better than you mama or papa!

So take action and remedy your past mistakes, make it good with those closest to you. When that time comes, you celebrate time well spent and a person highly loved.
