It Ain't Over
Jamie O'Hara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things don't always go the way we plan
Right out of the blue can come a change
And that old sunny sky just turns to rain
But we can rise above it
Long as we got love
Baby, we can rise above it
Hand in hand, side by side
Baby, don't you know that you and I
Can rise, rise above it
This old world don't give no guarantees
Everyday is another mystery
Just when we think we're on solid ground
Around the bend come a flood to pull us down
But we can rise above it
Long as we got love
Baby, we can rise above it
That's what we're made of
Hand in hand, side by side
Baby, don't you know that you and I
Can rise, rise above it
Honey, I know we've had our share of trouble
But the good Lord don't send nothin' we can't handle
We can rise above it
Long as we got love
Baby, we can rise above it
That's what we're made of
Hand in hand, side by side
Baby, don't you know that you and I
Can rise, rise above it
Rise, rise above it
Rise above it
Rise above it
We can rise above it
The lyrics of Jamie O'Hara's "It Ain't Over" express a message of hope in the face of adversity. The song acknowledges that life can be hard to understand, and things don't always go as planned. Unexpected changes can occur, and the once-bright sky can be engulfed by rain. However, the song asserts that as long as we have love within us, we can rise above the challenges that come our way. The song also recognises that the world does not provide any guarantees and can be full of mysteries that often disrupt our plans. Nevertheless, just like in the first verse, the chorus reassures the listener that they will rise above it all if they hold on to love.
Jamie O'Hara's lyrical style in this song is straight-forward and relatable. The transition between the first verse and the chorus is gradual and builds up the hope embodied in the song. By the time the chorus hits on the second time, the listener is convinced that regardless of any problems faced in life, they can rise above it if they have love, faith and trust in each other. The song is a reminder that when faced with challenges, it is essential to hold onto hope, based on the strengths they embody within.
