There are numerous different layers one can look into when listening to this song. Every thread of thought I’ve treaded down has to lead me back to a similar point: Even in the face of submission, deference, or even defeat we must still strive to persevere with everything we have.
Lyrics:
You have a father
There is another
You have a sister
There are no brothers
You have good friends
You have a lover
When friendships end
You will still love her
But it’s Theresa that you love the best
There was a flood
A world of water
The Mason’s wife
Swam for her daughter
1000 people did what they could
They found a steeple
And tore up the wood
500 pieces means 500 float
1000 people means 500 don’t
And it’s Theresa that they love the best
I’ve said it before
And I’ll say it again
All fires have to burn alive
All fires have to burn alive
From near his heart
He took a rib
But all fires have to burn alive, to live
From near his heart
He took a rib
All fires have to burn alive, to live
So it’s Theresa that I love the best
