Love From A Distance
Beres Hammond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us coming closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get together, whoa
I know you done a lot of wrongs
But I'm willing to forgive
No one has the right to decide
How the other man should live
Sometimes we should stop and count to ten
Before we make each other hurt
'Cause later on you realize
It really had no worth
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us getting closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get it together, whoa
Mama she's taught us for so long
With the right, the fool we teach
And the wisdom in her eyes
Kept me safe through all the years
Made me grow to understand
That there's still good folks around
And to keep this in your hearts
Is to be on solid ground
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us getting closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get it together, whoa, whoa oh
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us getting closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get it together, whoa
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us getting closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get it together
I see love from a distance
Coming but slowly
I know it's gonna last forever
I feel us getting closer, closer and closer
It's the time we get it together
The lyrics of Beres Hammond's song "Love From A Distance" are about the power of love and forgiveness. The first verse sets a tentative tone, with Hammond acknowledging that the love he sees coming towards him is "slowly" arriving. But he knows that it will "last forever," and he feels the closeness of the other person getting stronger.
The second verse is a plea for forgiveness and understanding. Hammond acknowledges that the other person has done wrong, but he is willing to forgive them. He also suggests that it's important to take a step back before acting out of anger, because the hurt caused will ultimately be meaningless.
The third verse is a tribute to the teachings of Hammond's mother, who taught him the value of wisdom and the importance of being surrounded by good people. He suggests that holding onto these lessons will keep a person on "solid ground," and will make it easier to see the love that is coming from a distance.
Overall, the song is a message of hope and understanding, suggesting that love can overcome even the most difficult of obstacles if it is given time and space to grow.
