Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And feel this place
This place I never thought would feel like home
Now I'm forever far away, and I
I always through I'd end up here alone
And somehow
The world has changed
To give you back the things they took from you
And I feel you now
I'm not alone
I'll always know where you are
And when I see myself
I'll always know where you are
Where you are
And I've found something
That was always there
Sometimes it's gotta hurt before you feel
But now I'm strong
And I won't kneel
Except to thank who's watching over me
(except to thank who's watching over me)
And somehow
I feel so strong
And I've begun
To be the one I never thought I'd be
And I feel you now
I'm not alone
I'll always know where you are
And when I see myself
I'll always know where you are
Where you are
Now
It's all so clear
And I believe
That everything's been opened up to me
And I feel you now
I'm not alone
I always know
I'll always know where you are
And when I see myself
I'll always know where you are
And when I feel the sun
I'll always know where you are
And when I see myself
I'll always know where you are
Where you are

It's good to see the sun
Expressing gratitude for experiencing happiness and positivity
And feel this place
Embracing the sensation and atmosphere of the surroundings
This place I never thought would feel like home
Surprised by the sense of belonging in an unexpected location
Now I'm forever far away, and I
Reflecting on being physically distant and isolated
I always thought I'd end up here alone
Assuming a future of solitude and isolation
And somehow
Inexplicably
The world has changed
Observing a shift or transformation in the world
And I've come home
Realizing a sense of belonging and familiarity
To give you back the things they took from you
Returning what was unjustly taken from someone
And I feel you now
Sensing the presence or connection with someone
I'm not alone
Acknowledging the support and companionship
I'll always know where you are
Having a constant awareness of the other person's location or existence
And when I see myself
During moments of self-reflection or self-observation
I'll always know where you are
Continuing to have a constant awareness of the other person's location or existence
Where you are
Reiterating the importance of knowing the other person's whereabouts
And I've found something
Discovering something significant or meaningful
That was always there
Realizing the existence of something that was previously unnoticed
Sometimes it's gotta hurt before you feel
Recognizing that experiencing pain can lead to emotional growth
But now I'm strong
Feeling empowered and resilient
And I won't kneel
Refusing to show submission or surrender
Except to thank who's watching over me
Expressing gratitude towards someone who is protecting or guiding
And somehow
Inexplicably
I feel so strong
Experiencing a sense of great strength and fortitude
And I've begun
Embarking on a new journey or chapter
To be the one I never thought I'd be
Transformed into a version of oneself that was never expected
Now
Currently
It's all so clear
Gaining clarity and understanding
And I believe
Having faith and confidence in something
That everything's been opened up to me
Perceiving that new opportunities and possibilities await
And when I feel the sun
When experiencing warmth, positivity, or joy
