Greg Johnson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When Everything Seems Hopeless,
Just Remember Where You’re From
If I Had To Choose You A Record,
I Hope I’d Choose Your Favourite Song
It’s Been So Long Since You Were Smiling
You’ve Got To Let A Little Bit Of It Out
Don’t Be Unsure, Just Take A Step Don’t Let Yourself Get Caught Up In This Desert Of Doubt
If You Were Lying On A Golden Beach With A

Hundred Million Dollars To Ride
Would It Make Any Difference At All
To The People You Would Have At Your Side
It’s Been So Long Since You Were Smiling
You’ve Got To Let A Little Bit Of It Out
Don’t Be Unsure, Just Take A Step Don’t Let Yourself Get Caught Up In This Desert Of Doubt
You’ve Got To Let It Out, You’ve Got To Let It Out,
Come On Come On Let It Out
Since You Don’t Go Out Anymore,
H You’ve Forgotten What The Party Is For
Oh Come On Angel, Sometimes It’s Good
To End Up On The Floor
But It’s Been So Long Since You Were Smiling
You’ve Got To Let A Little Bit Of It Out
Don’t Be Unsure, Just Take A Step Don’t Let Yourself Get Caught Up In This Desert Of Doubt

You’ve Got To Let It Out
Come On Come On Come On You Know You Want To

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Greg Johnson's "It" are about finding hope and happiness even in the darkest of times. The first stanza encourages listeners to remember their roots and to focus on their favourite song as a source of comfort. The second stanza questions the materialistic mindset of society, asking whether wealth and luxury would truly bring happiness. The chorus repeats the idea of needing to let out some emotion and not getting caught up in doubts.

The third stanza seems to be directed at a specific person, perhaps a friend, who has become reclusive and has forgotten how to have fun. Johnson urges them to let loose and enjoy themselves, even if it means ending up on the floor. The song concludes with a final call to let out whatever emotions are inside and to not hesitate to express oneself.
