the way home
Big Little Lions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooohhh...

We settled into this life
So small, so close
An uncomplicated world
Revolved around us
But time awoke our restless souls
An gave us wings to fly.

Ooohhh...

No matter how far we roam
We'll always know the way home
No matter how far we roam
We'll always know the way back home.

Ooohhh...

Maybe oceans trying to come between us
But ain't no ocean that strong
And different roads will run underneath us
But our bond will out run them all.

Ooohhh...

No matter how far we roam
We'll always know the way home
No matter how far we roam
We'll always know the way back home.

Ooohhh...
Ahhh...

We've got blood
We've got ties
We've got roots in this soils
There's no road block in life
Strong enough, Strong enough.

Ooohhh...

But no matter how far we roam
We'll always know the way home
Ooohhh...
We'll always know the way home
Ooohhh...
We'll always know the way home
Ooohhh...
We'll always know the way home
Ooohhh...
We'll always know the way home




Ooohhh...
We'll always know the way back home.

Overall Meaning

The song "The Way Home" by Big Little Lions is a beautiful ballad that expresses the idea of a strong bond that transcends distance and time. The opening lines paint a picture of a small and simple world where things revolved around the singer and their loved one(s). However, as time passes and they become restless, they feel the need to explore and spread their wings, which means leaving their familiar surroundings. This is where the chorus comes in, reassuring the listener that no matter how far they roam, they will always have a way back home, because their connection is unbreakable.


The second verse elaborates on this idea, suggesting that physical obstacles such as oceans and different paths in life will not be strong enough to sever the bond between the singer and their loved ones. They have blood, ties and roots in their home soil, and no roadblock in life can withstand their strength. This verse adds depth to the message of the chorus, underscoring the idea of a permanent connection that is not only emotional but also rooted in shared experiences and history.


Overall, "The Way Home" is a heartfelt and uplifting song that celebrates the bonds that tie us to our loved ones and to our roots. It acknowledges the challenges of life and the push and pull between exploration and belonging, but ultimately, it affirms that no matter what happens, we will always have a way back home.
