Number One
Portugal. The Man Richie Havens Son Little Lyrics

Freedom
The desire to live without restraints, limitations, or restrictions.

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
At times, I feel like I am all alone in this world without anyone to guide me.

A long way from my home
I feel like a stranger out here, far away from the place I belong to.

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Occasionally, I feel like I have lost my purpose and do not know what to do next.

When the morning came
As soon as the day begins.

Like another's pain
It feels like someone else's hardship that I cannot empathize with.

But didn't know to fade
But it never disappeared.

Like the sound it made
Just like the echoes of a sound that linger in the background,

Let's go down the drain
Let it all slip away.

With the falling rain
Just like how everything washes away with the rain.

Wash away the stains
Wash away the pain and sorrow I bear within me.

In that evening shade
As darkness falls, and the sun sets.

It's that sufferin'
Pain and hardship that we face in life.

Don't know why it brings
Even though suffering causes pain, it gives us memories that we will always cherish.

Such sweet memories
These memories are both happy and sad - but still, we hold them dear.

Will be the enemy
These memories can also make us feel sad and hurt us.

But you'll come out alright
Everything will be fine, you will get through this hardship.

(Yeah) I know it seems there's no end in sight
Even though it feels like there is no escape from this situation right now.

But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight
You can always try and fight through the adversities.

But you don't know how
It's okay to feel lost and not know where to start - but you must keep trying.

All the trails we blazed
All our past experiences and accomplishments that we have left behind.

Have long since been paved
Those trails have been covered over alike it was just a phase.

Leading the modern age
These trails have led us to the present where we live in the modern age.

On down memory lane
As we reminisce about our past, we get lost in our memories.

Can't turn the page
It is hard to move on to what lies ahead and let go of the past.

Somehow still be amazed
But sometimes, we find it hard to believe that all of it happened.

That the leaves had changed
Because time has passed, and things are not the same anymore.

When I leave my brother, father, sister, mother
When I die and depart this world, leaving behind my loved ones.

It's gonna be all right
Everything will be good, and there is nothing to worry about.

Telling white lies, late nights
Even when we are going through tough times, we sometimes resort to lies to keep things going.

The sunrise
The beginning of a new day, a new start.

'Cause when we rise up
When we strive to be better and overcome the obstacles in life.

We rise up above
We rise higher than our problems.

All of the chaos
All the difficulties and hardships that we face in life.

To get lost
To get lost in the moment and forget everything else for a while.

Don't make it, don't make it, wake up
These moments are fleeting, and we must not let them pass us by.

'Cause I'm gonna be like a drum
Like a drumbeat, I will continue to move forward.

And never get soul or give soul
Even when I face hardships, I will never lose my spirit.

But baby you make me feel love
But despite the hardships, the people I love remind me that it is all worth it.
