Someone's Watching Over Me
Hilary Duff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I found myself and ran away
But something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight
So I won't give up, no I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
I've seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time, and I won't be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment, to my dreams
So I won't give up, no I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart
So I won't give up, no I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
So I won't give up, no I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
Yeah, oh, oh,
Someone's watching over me

I found myself today
I discovered who I am today
Oh, I found myself and ran away
I realized who I am and got scared and tried to escape
But something pulled me back
But some force made me face reality
The voice of reason I forgot I had
The common sense that I ignored came back to me
All I know is you're not here to say
I know you're not here to tell me what you always used to say
What you always used to say
The words of encouragement you used to give me
But it's written in the sky tonight
But destiny is guiding me tonight
So I won't give up, no I won't break down
I won't surrender, I won't fall apart
Sooner than it seems life turns around
Life can change unexpectedly
And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong
I will remain resilient even if everything falls apart
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Even in tough times, I'll still hold on to faith
I've seen that ray of light
I've seen a glimmer of hope
And it's shining on my destiny
And it's guiding me towards my fate
Shining all the time, and I won't be afraid
It's always there, and it won't scare me
To follow everywhere it's taking me
To follow wherever it's leading me
All I know is yesterday is gone
I know the past is over
And right now I belong
And now, I'm where I'm supposed to be
To this moment, to my dreams
To this present, to my aspirations
It doesn't matter what people say
Other people's opinions don't matter
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
Have faith in yourself, and you'll succeed
And it only matters how true you are
What matters most is being sincere and genuine
Be true to yourself and follow your heart
Be authentic and listen to your inner voice
Someone's watching over
There is a higher power watching over
Someone's watching over
There is a higher power watching over
Someone's watching over me
There is a higher power watching over me
Yeah, oh, oh,
Expressing emotion
Someone's watching over me
There is a higher power watching over me

Yesterday,
My uncle lost his battle with cancer.
I'm sitting here thinking of all the time spent with him and I cannot stop crying...
Thank you for everything you've done for me. Thank you for being in my life for 96 years. Thank you for bringing out the best in me, Uncle.
I know you're watching over me and I know you can see the tears I am shedding because of how much you meant to me.
We will meet again someday.
Sending you love and wishes for a peaceful journey to Heaven.
I love you, Uncle.

My brother is a Marine. Before he got deployed to Afghanistan, he promised me that even when it all goes wrong he still wont give up. This song reminds me so much of him. :) hes still safe.

We all have angels watching over us. Call out and wait for a feeling or sign. This song is so beautiful β₯

Lost my mom yesterday morning and Iβve been having the worst anxiety attacks and grief Iβve ever experienced. She was my best friend and the rock to our family. I canβt imagine a life without her and Iβm so scared to be sleeping in this house- it feels so empty and heavy. I have been praying for a sign from my mom that weβll be okay. Just when I had another panic attack about the fact that my life is falling part, this song pops up. π₯Ί
