Everlife Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where is the help
Where is the light
I'm crawling around in a haze
I'm making a vow I'm taking a stand
I'm starting to change my ways

[Hook]
What I need to know and its time to go

To a place to be with you

[Chorus]
I'm about to walk I'm about to run
I'm about to lose
Lose my way
I can hardly talk I can barely see
I'm counting on you (lead the way)
You lead the way

Somebody said would you be there for me
I find it hard to believe
If I'm hearing you right
I'm gonna give up the fight
And let you have all of me

[Hook-Chorus]

Be my eyes oh be my voice be my everything
Its my choice Its my choice

[Chorus]

Oh oh yeah
You lead the way
I can hardly talk I can barely see

I'm counting on you
You lead the way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Lead the Way" by Everlife speak to the feeling of being lost and unable to find one's way. The opening lines express a sense of desperation as the singer wonders where to find help and light while feeling lost amidst the haze. However, as the chorus progresses, the singer's attitude shifts, as they declare a vow and a determined stand to change their ways. The singer recognizes that they need guidance and knows there is a place to be, where they can find it. The chorus repeats the plea for someone to "lead the way," as the singer acknowledges their own inability to navigate on their own.

In the second verse, the singer hears another voice asking for support, and they express skepticism about being able to help. However, instead of fighting, they give themselves over to this voice and accept the help that they need. The final repetition of the chorus underscores the theme of reliance on others to find one's way.

Overall, "Lead the Way" by Everlife is a powerful ballad about the struggle to overcome personal obstacles and find guidance in the process. It speaks to the human need for support during difficult times and the value of relying on others to help us get back on track.
