Clint Eastwood Christian Jacob The Tierney Sutton Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′ll tell you mine
Sing me your song
I'll follow line by line
Draw me near, let me hear the things you′ve treasured
Patient as falling snow, standing inside the questions
Only guessing by what truths our souls are measured
Each of ever us rising from world's unknown
With in your trials, I'll see my own
Still there journey′s that I was alone
You were born for the storm you have to weather
True as the winter wind
You faced the moment really
You and I, we′re on our own and yet together
Walking a path we can't define
Tell me your story
I′ll tell you mine
Sing me your song
I'll follow line by line
Let the night fall with the lightness of a feather
Trusting the coming dawn
We can not hold the morning
You and I, we′re on our own and yet together
For in the end
We're all flying home
The lyrics of "Flying Home" by Clint Eastwood Christian Jacob The Tierney Sutton Band speak to the power of shared experiences and human connection. The song begins with an invitation to share stories and songs, emphasizing the importance of listening and learning from one another. The imagery of snow and the unknown suggests that there is always more to discover about ourselves and those around us. The lyrics also touch on the idea that we are not alone in our struggles, and that by sharing our experiences, we can find comfort and strength in each other.
The chorus repeats the idea of being "on our own and yet together," which captures the bittersweet reality that while we must take our own journeys in life, we are always interconnected with those around us. The final line of the song, "For in the end, we're all flying home," speaks to the idea that despite our differences, we will all ultimately share the experience of returning to a greater unknown.
