Up Where We Belong
Danny Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
The road is long, there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to "used to be"
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find
The road is long, there are mountains in our way,
But we climb them a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow
Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive, today
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow
Danny Wright’s “Up Where We Belong” is a song about love and the way that it can lift us up to new heights. The song begins by acknowledging the uncertainty of the future and the challenges that we face in life, but asserts that love is what keeps us going. It’s a sentiment that feels particularly poignant given the struggles that many people have faced over the past year.
The chorus is the highlight of the song, with its soaring melody and uplifting lyrics about love lifting us up to new heights. The image of eagles crying on a mountain high is a powerful one, evocative of the freedom and majesty of nature. The song recognizes that there will be obstacles along the way, and that the road to happiness is long and difficult, but argues that every step forward is a victory.
The verse that follows drives this point home, as it encourages listeners not to dwell on the past, but to focus on the present moment and the possibilities that lie ahead. “All we have is here and now,” the song asserts, “all our life, out there to find.” It’s a beautiful reminder to stay present and engaged in the world around us.
