On My Way
Charlie Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Move in circles at night
You've given up the fight
Like the streets that you're always walking on
You died inside
And you don't know why
So you try to turn the light on

But stand up and never say never
'Cause this life is gonna get better
Take a breath, shake it off and say
I'm on my way

You been down and feel so fed up
When they tell you, you might not get up
Might not be on top of the world but hey
Here's what you say

You might work but I work harder
You might fight but I fight smarter
Might not be on the top of the world but hey
I'm on my way
You might fly but I fly higher
You're so hot but I'm on fire
Might not be on top of the world buy hey
I'm on my way ay
I'm on my way ay
I'm on my way ay
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

All alone in your bed
You tried when you said
What you said
Yeah you poured your heart out
But nothing's changed
Still a picture in a frame
And you try but you just can't break out, no

But stand up and never say never
'Cause this life is gonna get better
Take a breath, shake it off and say
I'm on my way

You been down and feel so fed up
When they tell you, you might not get up
Might not be on top of the world but hey
Here's what you say

You might work but I work harder
You might fight but I fight smarter
Might not be on the top of the world but hey
I'm on my way
You might fly but I fly higher
You're so hot but I'm on fire
Might not be on top of the world but hey
I'm on my way

So stand up and never say never
'Cause this life is gonna get better
Take a breath, shake it off and say
I'm on my way

You might work but I work harder
You might fight but I fight smarter
Might not be on the top of the world but hey
I'm on my way

You might fly but I fly higher
You're so hot but I'm on fire
Might not be on top of the world but hey
I'm on my way ay
I'm on my way ay
I'm on my way ay
I'm on my way ay
I'm on my way ay
I'm on my way ay
I'm on my way ay




I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Line by Line Meaning

Move in circles at night
Feeling stuck and going nowhere fast


You've given up the fight
Feeling defeated and hopeless


Like the streets that you're always walking on
Feeling stuck in a rut and lacking direction


You died inside
Feeling emotionally drained and disconnected


And you don't know why
Feeling lost and confused


So you try to turn the light on
Trying to find some hope and positivity


But stand up and never say never
Don't give up and keep pushing forward


'Cause this life is gonna get better
Believing that things will improve


Take a breath, shake it off and say
Resetting and refocusing to move forward


I'm on my way
Confidently declaring progress and improvement


You been down and feel so fed up
Feeling down and disillusioned


When they tell you, you might not get up
Being told that success is unlikely


Might not be on top of the world but hey
Not having achieved everything, but remaining optimistic

Using intelligence and strategy to overcome obstacles


You might fly but I fly higher

You're so hot but I'm on fire
Asserting one's passion and motivation


All alone in your bed
Feeling isolated and alone


You tried when you said
Having put effort and intention into something


What you said
Expressing oneself honestly and authentically


Yeah you poured your heart out
Having shared vulnerable feelings


But nothing's changed
Feeling frustrated with lack of progress


Still a picture in a frame
Feeling stuck in a certain moment or phase in life


And you try but you just can't break out, no
Feeling trapped in one's current state despite efforts to change


So stand up and never say never
Encouraging resilience and perseverance


You might fly but I fly higher
Believing in one's eventual success


I'm on my way
Confidently declaring progress and improvement

I used to listen to this song as a teenager from a little town in the Middle East dreaming that everything is possible and now I'm listening to it as a student at Harvard Law School as a reminder of how you'll see the result of your efforts. If you're reading this, keep on going. It really does get better <33 you can do this!
