Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home, I was a king I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
I hear the sounds from the places where I was born

Up on the hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah

Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah

There was a time, I met a girl of a different kind
We ruled the world,
Thought I'll never lose her out of sight
We were so young
I think of her now and then
I still hear the songs, reminding me of a friend

Up on the hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh




Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Don't You Worry Child" by Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin talks about a man who reminisces about the good old days, when he was a child and was happy, cared for, and loved by his father. He used to feel like a king in a golden throne, but now those days are gone, and all he has left are mere memories on the wall. He hears sounds from the places where he grew up, like a reminder of how things used to be different.


The man reflects upon his past relationships and how they impacted him. He talks about a girl he once knew and how they ruled the world together, and he thought he would never lose her out of sight. However, they grew up, and they grew apart, and now he only thinks of her now and then, sometimes reminded of her by certain songs. Despite these heartbreaks and uncertainties, the singer's father reassures him not to worry because heaven has a plan for him.


One of the themes present in the lyrics is that of nostalgia and the feeling of loss that often comes with growing up. It speaks to how the memories of the past can be incredibly powerful, and how the transition from innocence to experience can be difficult. The message that heaven has a plan for us can be interpreted in many ways, but at its core, it can be seen as a comforting reminder that we are not alone and that there is a guiding force in our lives.
