Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am, willing and able I'm able to come
I am willing and able to run
I am willing and able I'm able to come
And if I wait for you now
Would you come
Would you run
Oh baby how
And if I wait for you now
Would you come
Would you run
Would you bring it back around
Oh baby how
Willing and able to run
I am, willing and able I'm able to come
If it all went away
Nothin' left to say
O would you fight it
Or would you lay down?
At the hand of you're god
Could you see the light
O my prince can't you see what's been found?
Willing and able to run
Willing and able to come
Willing and able to run
I am willing I am willing
Willing, willing,
Willing and able to run
I am, willing and able
I'm able to come
I am willing and able to run
I am, willing and able
I'm able to come
And if I wait for you now
Would you come
Would you run
Would you bring it back around
Oh baby how
And if I wait for you now
Would you come
Would you run
Would you bring it back around
Oh baby how
Willing and able to run
I am, willing and able
I'm able to come
I am willing and able to run
I am, willing and able
I'm able to come
The lyrics to "Prince" by Carlton Vanessa express the willingness and ability to run towards someone or something, even when faced with uncertainty and doubt. The repetition of the phrase "willing and able" emphasizes the determination and readiness to take action. The verses ask the question of whether the subject of the song would come or run towards the singer if given the chance, and whether they would fight or give up in the face of adversity. The chorus repeats the same question, but with the added plea of "oh baby how," suggesting an emotional connection between the singer and the subject.
The use of the term "Prince" in the title and lyrics adds a layer of romanticism and idealization to the song. It implies a sense of longing and devotion towards someone who is seen as noble and chivalrous. The mention of a hand of God and seeing the light also introduces a hint of spirituality and perhaps even divine intervention.
Overall, "Prince" is a song about taking a chance on love and pursuing something or someone with full conviction, even when there is no guarantee of success or reciprocation.
