The Best Is Yet To Come
♫ Scorpions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Across the desert plains
Where nothing dares to grow
I taught you how to sing
You taught me everything I know
And thought the night is young
And we don't know if we'll live to see the sun

The best is yet to come
I know, you know
That we've only just begun
Through the highs and lows
And how can I live without you
You're such a part of me
And you've always been the one
Keeping me forever young
And the best is yet to come

Na na na na
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Take my hand, the best is yet to come

Thinking of the times
How we laughed and cried
I wouldn't change a thing
I couldn't even if I tried
Through the wind and rain
The spirit of our song remains the same

And the best is yet to come
I know, you know
That we've only just begun
Through the highs and lows
And how can I live without you
You're such a part of me
And you've always been the one
Keeping me forever young
And the best is yet to come

Na na na na
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Take my hand, the best is yet to come

Oh can you feel it in the air
It's in your heart and everywhere
We got to keep that dream alive

We cross another road
And face another day
Soldiers never die
They only fade away
How can we grow old
When the soundtrack of our lives is rock and roll

And the best is yet to come
I know, you know
That we've only just begun
Through the highs and lows
And how can I live without you
You're such a part of me
And you've always been the one
Keeping me forever young
And the best is yet to come

Na na na na
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Na na na na
Take my hand, the best is yet to come

Na na na na
Don't look now, the best is yet to come




Na na na na
Take my hand, the best is yet to come

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Scorpions are reflecting on their journey through life and music with a significant other. The song starts with an image of a barren desert, where nothing grows, and how the vocalist taught the partner to sing and, in turn, learned a great deal from them. Despite the uncertainty of life, they believe that the best is yet to come, and they have only just begun their journey together. They have been through highs and lows and would not change a thing. They cannot imagine living without their partner, who keeps them "forever young" and positive about the future. They encourage the listener not to look back, but to take their hand and keep moving forward because the best is yet to come.


The song has a very optimistic and hopeful message, encouraging listeners to keep dreaming and believing that the future will be even better than the present. It's a reminder that the journey of life is full of ups and downs but that our loved ones can help us through it all. It's also a testimony to the power of music and how it can accompany us throughout our lives, even in difficult times.

Have you ever climbed the mountain?
Have you ever crossed the sea?
Take a look around the corner
And listen to your heartbeat

Have you ever touched the rainbow?
Take a ride on a ferris wheel
It takes one step to start a journey
It's up to you to make it real

This is the time for yourself to be free
You gotta follow your heart
This is the time in your life and it's never too late
To see the light in the dark
You gotta follow your heart

Walking far away horizons
You will never walk alone
You'll be at home where your heart is
A million miles away from home

This is the time for yourself to be free
You gotta follow your heart
This is the time in your life and it's never too late
To see the light in the dark
You gotta follow your heart

Show me the way, who knows the way?
This is the only road to go
Life brings me down, life takes me up
And only, only Heaven knows

This is the time for yourself to be free
You gotta follow your heart
This is the time in your life and it's never too late
To see the light in the dark
You gotta follow your heart
You gotta follow your heart
