Grammar:

• I wonder how, I wonder why, I wonder where they are

  ➔ Indirect Questions

  ➔ The structure "I wonder + question word + subject + verb" is used to express uncertainty or curiosity in a more polite way than a direct question. Instead of asking directly "How are they?" the speaker says "I wonder how they are".

• I'm holding on forever

  ➔ Present Continuous for future arrangement/intention, with emphasis on duration

  ➔ The use of the present continuous "I'm holding" suggests an intention that is happening now and extends into the future. The addition of "forever" emphasizes the speaker's commitment and the long duration of this holding on.

• Reaching for the love that seems so far

  ➔ Relative Clause with "that"

  ➔ "That seems so far" is a relative clause modifying the noun "love". "That" acts as the relative pronoun, connecting the clause to "the love" and providing additional information about it.

• And hope my dreams will take me there

  ➔ Future Tense with "will"

  ➔ "Will take" expresses a future action or event. It indicates a prediction or expectation that the dreams will lead the speaker to a specific place.

• Where the skies are blue

  ➔ Adjective clause modifying a place

  ➔ The phrase describes the characteristic of a place that the speaker wants to be. "Where" refers to a place, and "the skies are blue" is an adjective clause describing that place.

• To see you once again, my love

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ The infinitive phrase "To see you once again" explains the purpose of going to a place where the skies are blue. It answers the question: "Why go there?" The purpose is to see the loved one again.

• Overseas, from coast to coast

  ➔ Prepositional Phrases denoting location and extent

  ➔ "Overseas" is an adverb denoting location. "From coast to coast" describes the geographical extent of the search or distance. They both provide context for the journey being undertaken.

• To tell you from the heart

  ➔ Prepositional phrase modifying a verb (manner)
