What Will Remain

from Up Higher by Dan Bailey

about

This song reflects the mental and emotional rollercoaster we’ve all been dealing with during the past year, and the feelings we have whenever we emerge from a transformative time or event.

In fact, I would say that the entire album has been influenced by my own introspection, not only during the pandemic, but during many of the events and prevailing moods of the past few years.

lyrics

We marvel (enthralled by our) at society
And hurtle through our lives
Entrenched in our complacency
It caught us by surprise
Events that changed the world
There wasn’t time to stop and think
Things we couldn’t fathom
They brought us to the brink

Plunged into darkness
Tomorrow never came
We all became strangers
Trying not to be afraid
We fell asleep with our book
And woke up on a brand new page

We saw the change
We saw the change
We saw the change
When the sun comes up
What will remain ((x3))

Always pushing towards the boundaries
Doing thing that don’t make sense
We must live with our decisions
And face the consequence
We ally ourselves with power
That hastens our decline
We get yanked into into the future
But we never go without a fight

The story of humanity
Is filled with things that we regret
Despite our ingenuity
We often lose our bet
Change ensures survival
And makes us who we are
We fight against adversity
And always forge ahead

Out of the darkness
With our souls still intact
We all come together
With the wind at our backs
We’re writing our book
And now we start a brand new page

We saw the change
We saw the change
We saw the change
When the sun comes up
What will remain ((x3))
