Make Us All Aware
Ambrosia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pale to the mountains my existence seems
Sad as the cry of my unanswered dreams
Long have I waited for time to make clear
All of the reasons that I must be here

But I won't care if you are there
Make us all aware
Drawn by the river, we watch as it flows
Wanting to taste of the wisdom it holds
Knowing that somewhere our fortunes we'll find
But fortunes are something we hold in our minds

We could share all that's there
Make us all aware

Seeking an answer yet harboring fear
The day that it comes, I'll no longer be here

But I won't care if you are there
I won't care
Make us all... oh




I won't care
Make us all aware

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ambrosia's song "Make Us All Aware" are a contemplation of the meaning of existence, the passage of time, and the pursuit of wisdom and fortune. The opening lines "Pale to the mountains my existence seems, Sad as the cry of my unanswered dreams" suggest a feeling of insignificance and unfulfilled aspirations. The singer appears to have been waiting a long time for something, possibly for a sense of purpose or direction in life, and seeks clarity on the meaning of their existence.


The second verse moves towards a more hopeful and proactive stance. The singer is drawn to the river, symbolizing the flow of life and the potential for finding wisdom and fortune. They recognize that such treasures are not external, but within their own minds. The lines "We could share all that's there, Make us all aware" express a desire for connection and community, and for the sharing of knowledge and insight.
