James Fortune & FIYA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Verse 1) I tired so hard to do things my way,
I got so lost and couldn't find my place,
How could I think could run this race without you,
How confused could I be,
Sometimes we think we can solve it all,
And when we try we make our own call,
But when we fall it reminds us all that we should yes we should FOLLOW YOU!
(Chorus) I will follow you,
So many times I don't know what to do,
I know you'll never ever leave me wrong,
Now I will Yes I will lord I will follow you!
(Verse 2) I cried some tears that i didn't have to,
If I had only listened to you,
I look back over my life and realize that your on my side so the fears in my life were gone,
All my mistakes have now been erased,
I give thanks for your amazing grace,
Now I can see a change in my ways since I turned your direction and decided to FOLLOW YOU!
(Chorus) I will follow you,
So many times I don't know what to do,
I know you'll never ever leave me wrong,
Now I will yes i will lord
I will follow you,
So many times I don't know what to do,
I know you'll never ever leave me wrong,
Now I will yes I will lord,
I have decided that I will follow you!
James-(Come On everybody put your hands together! Come On!)
James-(Come on and rock like this! Come On!)

I will follow

I will change my direction, I need I your protection lord

Lord I can't move without you, I'm so lost without you

I will follow
Yes! Yes!
I will follow
I will follow you
I will follow
Lord i can't move without you cause I'm so lost without you




I will follow
I will follow you (fades)

Overall Meaning

The first verse suggests that attempting to navigate through life independently can lead to confusion and failure. However, when the singer acknowledges the need for guidance and commits to following God, they experience a sense of peace and direction that was previously absent. The second verse reflects on mistakes made in the past, acknowledging how they might have been avoided if the singer had followed God's path from the beginning. The chorus underlines the idea that following God will never steer one wrong and that it is a decision that requires firm commitment.


Through its lyrics, "Follow You" exudes qualities of humility, faith, and trust. The song encourages listeners to recognize the limits of their personal power and instead place faith in a more powerful force. The song suggests that following God requires constant effort and isn't just a one-time decision. The repeated refrain at the end of each verse of "I will follow you" reinforces this sentiment.
