Into the Unknown
Jacob Sutherland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By the milk light of moon
All that was lost, is revealed.
Our long bygone burdens, mere echoes of the spring,
But where have we come, and where shall we end?
If dreams can't come true, then why not pretend?
How the gentle wind,
Beckons through the leaves,
Dancing in a swirl,
Of golden memories,
The loveliest lies of all...

Led through the mist,
Guided through confusion and uncertainty,
By the milk light of moon
By the faint glow of hope,
All that was lost, is revealed.
The secrets of the past are now discovered,
Our long bygone burdens, mere echoes of the spring,
Our past struggles are now just faint whispers in the present,
But where have we come, and where shall we end?
Uncertainty about where our path will lead us,
If dreams can't come true, then why not pretend?
Why not continue to hope and imagine for a better future,
How the gentle wind,
The calming breeze that surrounds us,
Beckons through the leaves,
Calls out to us through nature,
As autumn colors fall.
As the old begins to fade away,
Dancing in a swirl,
Moving gracefully through change,
Of golden memories,
Of cherished moments from the past,
The loveliest lies of all...
Beautiful illusions that bring us comfort and happiness.

Something I love about all the covers of yours I've heard- is just how much Emotion you always put into them. It's great to hear a cover by someone with a nice voice, but it's that little something extra that emotion can bring that has the ability the push a cover from great to AMAzing!! This cover here showcases both wonderfully!

Thank you so much! This is the perfect kind of song for portraying an emotional journey, and it’s always more fun to sing when you can put a little bit of a story into the performance 😊
