Wherever You Are
Accompanied By Teddy Wilson & His Orchestra; Billie Holiday Lyrics

The lyrics of Billie Holiday's song, "Wherever You Are", express a universal sentiment of solidarity with those who are facing hardship or uncertainty. The opening lines evoke a sense of hope that burns brightly, even in the darkest of times, and suggests that this hope is shared by people all over the world, in every home. The second line speaks to the power of collective prayer, as millions of hearts are imagined to be kneeling and sending their thoughts and wishes to those in need. The repetition of the phrase "wherever you are" underscores the idea that this message is meant for anyone, anywhere, who may be feeling alone or in need of support.

The lyrics of "Wherever You Are" are simple yet powerful and tap into a sense of human solidarity that is both timeless and universal. They speak to the power of hope, faith, and prayer to connect people across distance and difference and offer comfort and solace in difficult times. The title itself is an invitation to imagine a world in which we are all connected, and our hearts and prayers are with each other, wherever we may be.
