Eternal
BeBe Winans/Eternal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Her sole home is space
She's the cosmos queen
The world is loneliness
Her life is wandering
She is going nowhere
Yielding to the distant call
Death will never come
She'll be always young
She will roam all along
She will forever be the eternal wanderer
She will forever be the eternal wanderer
She will forever be...
Pure and lonely
At eternal night
She has only
The feeling of delight
With rise and death of worlds
With the flying comets song
Death will never come
She'll be always young
She will roam all along
She will forever be the eternal wanderer
She will forever be the eternal wanderer
She will forever be the eternal wanderer
One day she'll come near
A planet with life’s gift
Where she will hear
A call that will make seethe
Something in her soul
That will prompt her to rush there
But this ardent soul
Will run into the wall
To surmount it she won't dare
Since then her life will be
Eternal suffering
Nothing but memories
Will remain within
About that passionate call
That in cold space she'll never hear
Sometimes she'll turn round
But will go farther
For millions years
Death will never come
She'll be always young
She will roam all along
She will forever be the eternal wanderer
She will forever be the eternal wanderer
She will forever be...
She will forever be the eternal wanderer
The eternal wanderer

Overall Meaning

The song "Eternal" by BeBe Winans and the group Eternal describes the life of a lonely space traveler who roams the universe with no destination. The character is referred to as the "cosmos queen" and is portrayed as a beautiful and ageless figure. The lyrics describe her as being "pure and lonely" and experiencing pleasure from the "feeling of delight." She is surrounded by the death and birth of worlds, but death does not apply to her, and she never ages.


Despite her loneliness, the wanderer's journey takes a sudden turn when she comes across a planet that has life. She hears a call that ignites something within her, but she encounters a barrier preventing her from reaching the planet. Even though she longs to connect with the life on the planet, she continues to roam the universe, haunted by the memory of the call.


The lyrics of "Eternal" are evocative and provide rich imagery that can be interpreted in a variety of ways. Some listeners may see the song as a commentary on the human experience of loneliness, while others may find it a poignant reminder of the vastness of the universe and our place within it.
