The Wolf & I Lyrics

I was asleep in a hammock
I was in a deep sleep, relaxed and comfortable, swinging gently in a hammock.

I was dreaming that I was a web
I had a surreal dream where I was a spider web, intricately weaving together different parts of myself and my experiences.

I was a dream-catcher hanging in the window of a minivan Parked along the water's edge
In my dream, I was a dream-catcher, hanging in a minivan parked by the water. My purpose was to capture the negative energy and protect the passengers inside.

I'd say that I was all alone But I will never be born as a scorpion
Although I felt alone, I knew I was not truly alone because I could never be reborn as a scorpion, a symbol of loneliness and isolation.

And you're gonna be okay come morning Find your legs and find your horns and Everybody gotta be reborn But I'll never be born as a scorpion
Despite feeling alone, I know that everyone has to go through periods of rebirth and growth. My friend or partner may be struggling now, but they will find their strength in the morning. As for me, I know I will never be reborn as a scorpion and feel lonely forever.

And everybody gotta, gotta be reborn But you will never be born as a scorpion
Every human has to go through cycles of growth and change, but no one is destined to be lonely like a scorpion.

Cloud shadow on the mountain Cloud shadow on the plains Cloud shadow making island nation on the fabric of this terrain
The clouds cast shadows on the earth, creating a landscape where the mountains become more rugged, the plains more flat, and the natural boundaries of island nations become visible.

You gotta jump, jump over the island Like a gazelle You gotta jump over the the island Like a new long legged gazelle
When confronted with challenges that seem impossible to cross, one needs to be as graceful and agile as a gazelle - able to jump high and far, navigating the obstacle.

Or just another pair of boat shoes Walking away from the harbor Just another pair of boat shoes Walking away from the harbor
Don't let yourself be reduced to just another object - like a pair of shoes - without purpose or direction. Instead, be intentional and thoughtful about where you're headed.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa And everybody gotta, gotta be reborn But you will never be born as a scorpion Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
We all have to confront difficulties and grow through the process of rebirth, but no one is doomed to be lonely like a scorpion.
