Finding Light in the Darkness: Elvis Presley's 'We Can Make The Morning'

Elvis Presley's song 'We Can Make The Morning' is a poignant exploration of overcoming loneliness and fear through companionship and hope. The lyrics begin with a personal reflection, where the narrator hears a small voice crying and realizes it is his own. This moment of vulnerability is likened to a child afraid of the dark, symbolizing the universal fear of the unknown and the night as a metaphor for difficult times in life.

As the song progresses, the narrator is encouraged by a larger, more reassuring thought that urges him to stop crying and to search for light, suggesting that fate offers guidance and that time can heal and clarify the mind. The repeated refrain, 'It's a long, long lonely night, we can make the morning if we try,' serves as a powerful reminder that perseverance and effort can lead to a brighter future. The emphasis on 'we' highlights the importance of togetherness and mutual support in overcoming challenges.

The song further delves into the theme of loneliness, describing it as the first companion of darkness. However, it also offers a solution: sharing one's burdens with a friend can diminish fear and bring light into one's life. The imagery of dawn and the sun symbolizes new beginnings and the power of dreams and hope to create a better reality. Elvis's soulful delivery and the uplifting message of the song resonate deeply, offering comfort and encouragement to those facing their own long, lonely nights.
