I Was A Lark
Golden Youth Lyrics

I was a deer, was a deer in the forest
I was once like a deer, living in the forest, fleeing from danger to find peace.

Darting between the trees to find our peace
I ran fast among the trees, seeking sanctuary to calm my soul.

I was a lark, was a lark up in the trees
I was also like a small bird, perched upon trees, singing to commemorate those who passed.

Singing of the ones who lie beneath
I sang songs in memory of our loved ones who have been laid to rest.

And we go on
Life goes on despite the changes that occur.

Like a stream moves on, oh
Our lives carry on like the flow of a river, steady and relentless.

Oh my love
An expression of deep emotions towards someone dear.

Will you wash away?
Expressing fear that the love they share may be lost.

Will you wash away like in the storm?
Questioning whether their love will be strong enough to survive a difficult time, like being washed away in a storm.

In the summer's rain
During a time of temporary hardship and sadness.

I was the ground, was the ground beneath your feet
I served as a place for you to stand upon, providing you comfort and stability.

Bringing down the flowers to rest with me
I provided a peaceful resting place for the flowers.

I don't want to stay here
Expressing a desire to leave their current situation.

Leave my body to wither and die
Choosing to move forward in life, even if it means leaving something behind.

Fierce and in my eyes, my eyes
Showing determination despite facing challenges.

oooh
Expressing an emotion like a sigh or a moan.
