Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(On my way, on my way)
I would like to reach out my hand
I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)
You know what they say about the young
Well pick me up with golden hand
I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)
You know what they say about the young
Well, I would like to hold my little hand
And we will run, we will, we will crawl, we will
I would like to hold my little hand
And we will run, we will, we will crawl
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Mm hmm (on my way)
I would like to reach out my hand
I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)
You know what they say about the young
Now pick me up with golden hand
I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)
You know what they say about the young
Well, I would like to hold my little hand
And we will run, we will, we will crawl, we will
I would like to hold my little hand
And we will run, we will, we will crawl
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Send me on my way (on my way)
Mm hmm (on my way)
Well, I would like to hold my little hand
And we will run, we will, we will crawl, we will
I would like to hold my little hand
And we will run, we will, we will crawl
Send me on my way
Send me on my way
Send me on my way
On my way
Send me on my way
Send me on my way
Oh oh oh (way)
Send me on my way
Oh oh oh (way)
Send me on my way
I would like to reach out my hand
I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)
You know what they say about the young
Mr. Myers's song "Send Me On My Way" is a whimsical and upbeat track with a mesmerizing melody. The song appears to be a carefree journey where the singer speaks to someone he may see along the way asking to hold their hand and run together. It is suggested that the singer is reaching out to someone who is not too keen on running away, but he is encouraging them to come along on this adventure. The reference to "what they say about the young" highlights the singer's youthful spirit, a desire to be free and explore life.
The lyrics "Send me on my way" imply that the singer is ready to go and explore on his own, embarking on a new journey, and his request to hold someone's hand could be interpreted as an invitation for someone else to join him in exploring the unknown. The repetition of "send me on my way" is used as a plea for the singer to be allowed to go on this journey and explore the world outside.
The upbeat and catchy nature of this song has made the song popular in various mediums of entertainment such as movies, television shows, and commercials. One of the songs' significant impacts was its use as a theme for the 1996 movie "Matilda"- a movie adaptation based on the classic children's book by Roald Dahl. The song has also received significant radio airplay on alternative and rock radio stations and featured in the opening sequences of the TV show "Jackass."
