Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a happy home, i was a king i had a gold throne
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
I hear the songs from the places where i was born
Up on the hill across the blue lake,
Thats where i had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
Yeah!
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
Yeah!
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh!
See heaven's got a plan for you
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh!
There was a time, i met a girl of a different kind
We ruled the world,
Thought i'll never lose her out of sight, we were so young
I think of her now and then
Still hear the song reminding me of when
Up on the hill across the blue lake,
Thats where i had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
Yeah!
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
Yeah!
The lyrics to "Don't You Worry Child" by Swedish House Mafia member, Carl Weimberg, take the listener on a nostalgic journey through childhood and young adulthood experiences.
