The Journey
Joni Lamb & the Daystar Singers and Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ぐるぐる回るのは なんだろう?
地球? 夜空? 僕の身体か?
その答えは ひとつだけじゃない
あれれ?! あわれ!
タイムトラベルはできる
Mc2のエネルギーで
出てきた魔人は寝てました
もしもし亀さんよ
扉ひらく鍵はこれだ
踊れや歌え
うしろの正面だあれ?
タイムトラベルはできる
Mc2のエネルギーで
表紙のホコリ払うと
出てきた魔人は寝てました
むかしむかし あるところ
お爺とお婆がいます
いつもの始まりで
めでたしまで 予測不能
それが名作
The lyrics of "The Journey" by Joni Lamb & the Daystar Singers and Band are both introspective and whimsical, posing questions about the nature of the world and the journey of life itself. The opening line asks "what is it that goes round and round?" Is it the earth, the night sky, or the singer's own body? The answer is "not just one." The song then takes a turn towards science fiction, imagining time travel powered by the energy of Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2. The singer asks a turtle to open doors, sing and dance, before taking us back to a fairy tale world where grandparents play a role. The lyrics suggest that life is unpredictable, but that the journey itself is what makes it a masterpiece.
The song explores themes of time, space, and imagination through playful, almost childlike lyrics. The use of Japanese characters in the opening line adds an element of exoticism, as does the reference to Mc2. The lyrics ultimately suggest that life is a journey full of surprises, and that perhaps the most powerful force of all is the power of imagination.

I lost my soulmate, my beautiful husband less then three weeks ago and my brother seven weeks before that. It took two weeks for me to focus on living again instead of want to go with him. But I broke down and told Jesus I can not take a single step without his help. This journey hurts horribly. But I do trust in his plan that if I am obedient and faithful there is something other then pain ahead.
