In Mary Hopkin's song "Life Song", she sings about the struggles and uncertainties of life. She mentions chasing after her dreams as a poet, but questioning if she really knows what it all means. She compares life to a rocky road with beautiful and crazy moments, but wonders if anyone truly understands it. Mary questions life itself, wondering why it sometimes feels like she knows it so well, only for it to be taken away. She likens life to a man she loves but will never fully comprehend. Despite this, Mary keeps coming back to life, hoping they can be friends. Overall, "Life Song" is a contemplative and melancholic ballad about the complexities of life, and the desire to understand and find a connection with it.
