Touch Of Your Hand
Imperia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To free my heart
Knowing I can face the things
That used to seem so hard
Learning how to breathe again
I realize
There is so much more to learn
There is so much more to feel
The long forgotten part of me
I hear it calling now
The touch of your hand
Carries me away
To a place where only you can enter
Learning how to smile again
To free my heart
Knowing I can face the things
That used to seem so hard
Learning how to shine again
To feel I fly
Knowing after all the rain
There comes a clear blue sky
There is so much more to feel
The long forgotten part of me
I hear it calling now
The touch of your hand
Carries me away
To a place where only you can enter
To feel I fly
Into the clear blue sky...
The lyrics to Imperia’s song “Touch Of Your Hand” is about how someone is learning how to be happy again after feeling sad and lonely for a long time. The opening lines “Learning how to smile again, to free my heart” shows how the individual realizes that they need to change their outlook on life and learn to be happy again. They acknowledge that they can face the challenges that once seemed difficult to overcome. As the song progresses, the individual realizes that there is so much more to learn and feel in life. They feel a long-forgotten part of themselves coming back to life, something that they lost touch with when they became sad.
The chorus of the song, where Imperia sings about the touch of someone’s hand carrying them away, shows that the individual has found someone who has helped them find happiness again. The person they are speaking about helps them escape their sadness and brings them to a place where they can be happy again. The song talks about the long road it took to get there, but in the end, they find themselves being able to fly again. This song speaks to anyone who has felt lost and alone but learns how to find happiness again.

It is not by their music (although it is very good) but by their lyrics they are amazing. Have you ever read "My Sleeping Angel's Lyrics?" Sentences are so powerful they touched me deep within my heart.
