The narrator is searching for an understanding of life and how to both accept and appreciate what it has to offer. Through her journey she finds beauty in the world, such as the awe inspiring power of nature, and sets her mind and heart on understanding the power of the human spirit. The rhythm of the song reflects her journey and the hawthorn in the title reflects the deep knowledge and beauty that can be found in our understanding of life. The narrator is ultimately trying to learn how to find peace in the human condition, and accepting that it will take time to find it. Despite the challenge, she perseveres and finds the courage to go on despite an uncertain future. In the end, the message of “Hawthorn” is to never give up on ourselves in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding.
