In this deeply emotional piece, the artist grapples with feelings of uncertainty and longing. The symbolic "evergreen" represents a constant, unchanging element in her life that she yearns for amidst chaos. The phrase "I can't see the forest for the trees" reflects her overwhelmed state, unable to see the bigger picture due to immediate problems. The recurring plea, "will you wait for me", suggests a desire for patience and understanding from this 'evergreen' figure while she navigates through her struggles. The reference to the Mississippi River's powerful current could symbolize overwhelming life circumstances, yet holding its current implies control over these challenges. Lastly, acknowledging that it's "just as hard in Heaven" conveys a realization that difficulties are universal, transcending even paradise.
