Journey
張韶涵 (Angela Chang) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a long long journey
Till I know whera I'm supposed to be
It's a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you
Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong
I know I will falter I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long long journey
And I need to be close to you
Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through?
Cause It's a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on calvary
Beneath those stormy skies
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feel like everything is out to make me lose control




Cause it's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you.to you

Overall Meaning

However, they find comfort in knowing that they have someone who will support them through the difficult times.


The first stanza sets the tone for the song, indicating that the journey will be a long one and the singer is uncertain about their destination.

The third stanza speaks to the feeling of isolation that the singer experiences, despite their best efforts to be understood. They question their motives and their actions, wondering if anyone can truly understand them. The fourth stanza becomes more religious in nature, referencing Calvary and Satan. The singer acknowledges that even their faith can be tested in the face of adversity, and they may feel like everything is out to get them. The final line of the chorus emphasizes the singer's ultimate goal - to find their way home to the person they are singing to.
