Tapestry
Moya Brennan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Destinations crossing over
Gentle music touching beauty
Rising in harmony
Teach us to listen, calling for wisdom
Gracing a tapestry
Destinations crossing over
Spinning a web of ribbons and color
Colors of history
Stories together, laughing and dancing
Gracing a tapestry
Weaving silver and gold
Destinations crossing over
Treasure secrets, stealing moments
Phrases of poetry
Setting in motion, loving forever
Gracing a tapestry
Weaving silver and gold
Weaving silver and gold
In the song Tapestry by Moya Brennan, she sings about the beauty of life being like a tapestry that is woven with silver and gold. The destinations that we cross over are represented by the threads of the tapestry that are intertwined to create something beautiful. The music that accompanies this weaving is gentle and touches the essence of beauty. As we listen to this music, we are called to seek wisdom and grace so that we can appreciate the beauty of the world that is around us.
Brennan sings about how the tapestry is made up of ribbons and colors that represent the history and stories of our lives. We are all woven together in this tapestry of life and each of our stories, whether joyful or sad, contributes to the beauty of the tapestry. As we dance and laugh together, these moments become part of the overall pattern of the tapestry. We are all interconnected, and the threads of our lives are woven together to create something that is both unique and beautiful.

I was expecting a cover of the Carole King song from her 1971 album of the same name. A pleasant surprise to discover a song I had never heard before.
