Overture
Heather Dale & S.J. Tucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The apple of your daddy's eye
Best friend to all
Your mother not least of all
When your time came
You smiled through the pain
Showed us how to face
The end with grace
We must carry on
the beauty and peace that would come with it. The overture is a call to imagine a world without all the vices and darkness that currently afflict human society. It speaks of a world where love and unity are the order of the day. It is an invitation to visualize a planet where people are treated with love and respect, irrespective of race, gender, or creed.
The overture goes on to challenge us to actualize this dream. It is a call to action and a reminder that we have the power to create the world we want. It urges us to dare, to have the boldness of vision to imagine a perfect world and the courage to take steps towards making that world a reality. In essence, the overture is a song that inspires us to strive for a better world, one that is free of all the darkness and despair that currently hold us hostage.
