Harmony
Clint Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To rain across the land
Our children's children's sands of time
Are slipping through our hands
Take heed in what's become of Eden
You and me, from seed to seed
Just how does your garden grow?
It's likely only Heaven knows
Harmony
From the very start weren't we changing it?
Don't we all agree, that in every part
We're more than rearranging harmony
Do we move the mountains that we climb
Just because we're here?
Can we show the forests to the blind
To see the trees we clear?
And if Mother Nature holds her ground
And our seeds are still around
Will we watch our garden grow
To something only Heaven knows?
Harmony
We're the only one's who can't live in it
Everything and everyone
Can get along in every way in harmony
Harmony
From the very start weren't we changing it?
Don't we all agree that in every part
We're more than rearranging harmony
I believe it's gonna be
When everybody here can sing along
Singin' in harmony
Stand on up, say the word
Together, all of our voices can be heard
Everybody knows the key
To livin' in harmony
Take heed in what's become of Eden
You and me, from seed to seed
Just how does your garden grow
It's likely only Heaven knows
Harmony
We all just have to believe
Don't we all agree, that in every part
We're more than rearranging harmony
I believe it's gonna be
When everybody here can sing along
Singin' in harmony
(Stand on up, I believe)
I believe in harmony
I believe
(Oh, I believe, everybody knows)
Say the word, harmony (Stand on up)
I know we can do it now
I believe, I believe in harmony
Yeah, harmony
Everybody knows the key
To livin' in harmony
Clint Black's song "Harmony" highlights the importance of individuals coming together to protect and preserve the world we live in. The opening lines reflect on how our actions have impacted the world around us, with rivers running to the sky and children's futures slipping through our hands. The following lines in the verse urge individuals to take heed in what's become of the world and the seeds we plant, asking how our gardens grow and admitting that it is likely only Heaven knows.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of harmony and how we as a society have been rearranging it since the beginning. The lyrics suggest that we can all live in harmony if we work together and believe in the potential of goodness.
The second verse raises questions on our ability to preserve nature's beauty in the face of our destructive tendencies. Can we move mountains that we climb and can we show the forests to the blind? The chorus repeats the importance of unity and respect for each other and our world, stating that "we're the only ones who can't live in it" and emphasizing that everything and everyone can get along in harmony.
In the bridge, the song encourages everyone to stand up and participate in the movement toward harmony. It believes in the power of collective voices and the ability to live in harmony by believing, singing, and saying the word together.
Overall, "Harmony" is a plea for individuals to realize the impact of their actions and to work towards living in harmony with each other and the world that nourishes them.
