Michael
Lopez Trini Lyrics

The song "Michael" by Lopez Trini is a spiritual folk song that describes the journey towards spiritual salvation. The song follows the metaphor of rowing a boat to cross the River Jordan, which is a symbol of the boundary between life and death. The repetition of the word "Hallelujah" throughout the song emphasizes the spiritual fervor and the triumph of the human spirit over worldly struggles.

The lyrics of "Michael" also evoke the imagery of sailing, with a plea to "Sister" to help trim the sails. This metaphorical sail-trimming could mean seeking guidance from a spiritual mentor who is more adept at navigating the seas of life. The River Jordan is described as "chilly and cold," but also as a source of comfort and warmth for the soul. This can be interpreted as the journey towards spiritual enlightenment being difficult and potentially dangerous, but ultimately rewarding.
