Come To Life
Bruce Guthro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Played our part
In the rise of a great nation
Now a sense of place
Shines on our face
As we open up our arms
Here we ride the crest
Where east meets west
You can write this down
How I love this ground
And I open up my eyes
To come to life
Where wild meets serene
Where everything is centred
'round the balance of your dreams
Where wonder is awakened
In a whole new light
Awaken all your wonder
To come to life
So let it in
Let it all begin
Your thirst, your quest is satisfied
Everything you learned
Every stone unturned
They are the reasons why
We come to life
Where wild meets serene
Where everything is centred
'round the balance of your dreams
Where wonder is awakened
In a whole new light
Awaken all your wonder
With mystery abounding
The spirit of the dance
History surrounding
Tomorrow's leading hands
We dare to make a change
A change to take a chance
A chance to
Come to life
Where wild meets serene
Everything is centred
'round the balance of your dream
Oh, come to life
Come to life
In Bruce Guthro's song "Come to Life," the lyrics evoke a sense of pride and affection for Nova Scotia, a province in Canada. The first two lines of the verse imply that the people of this province have worked hard to contribute to the success of the nation. Now, as they open their arms, there is a sense of belonging and rootedness, a sense of place, reflected in their faces. The verse culminates with the assertion that Nova Scotia is located at the confluence of east and west, with the Bay of Fundy on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. Thus, Nova Scotia, or "a heart, Nova Scotia," is described as a crest, where the wildness of nature meets the serenity of human existence.
The chorus amplifies the ideas introduced in the verse by emphasizing the balance, wonder, and awakening that can be found in Nova Scotia. In particular, the contrast between wildness and serenity is repeated, with the suggestion that it is this balance that fuels wonder and discovery. As the chorus progresses, it becomes clear that these ideas are about more than just physical geography, as the "balance of your dreams" is mentioned. Thus, Nova Scotia becomes a symbol of a place where people can find their inner balance and awaken their sense of wonder, even as they encounter mystery and history in the world around them. The song ends with a call to action, encouraging listeners to "dare to make a change, to take a chance, to come to life."
