Go on Through
Afro Celt Sound System Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve been thinking about this love
I’m thinking about it
I’m thinking about this love
So hard, so hard

I’ve been thinking about my life
And how it’s going to turn
And all I really want to do
Is find a way to go on through


And all I really want to do now
Is find a way to go on through



So out on the tide we go
Out on it
So out on the highest waves
So high, so high

So out on the tide we go
Knowing it will turn
And all I really want to do
Is find a way to go on through



And all I really want to do now
Is find a way to go on through
And all I really want to do
All I really want to do




Is find a way to go on through
Find a way to go on through
