Balloons
K.e.v. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There were times in my life when I was confused.
There were things between me and God that were blocking my view.
So I prayed,
"Oh dear Lord, take these things away so I can see."
He answered my prayer and at the sight of Him
I fell to my knees.

And until I went onto that fateful trip.
I thought I was on a sinking ship.

Until,
I went on a balloon ride
(I could see everything from up there).
I went on a balloon ride
And now everything seems clear.

I strive towards infinity.
Though sometimes I don't know what to do.
When other people laugh at me
All I do is look towards You.

Well on my through this life yet something was gone.
I looked round and round and then I found I needed some one.
So I prayed,




"Oh dear Lord, fill me up and make me whole.
Present in my life Jesus Christ, save my soul."

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to K.e.v.'s song "Balloons" speak of a moment of clarity and understanding after a period of confusion and doubt. The singer talks about feeling blocked from seeing God and praying for those blocks to be taken away. The answer to that prayer comes during a balloon ride, where the singer is able to see everything from a different perspective and everything comes into focus.


The second verse describes the singer's difficulty in navigating life and dealing with the reactions of others. However, the focus is always on striving towards infinity with God's help. The final verse talks about a feeling of emptiness and a search for something to fill that void, which ultimately leads to a search for Jesus and a prayer to be saved.


The song is a testament to the power of prayer and the belief that God can provide answers and clarity in even the most confusing of situations. It also emphasizes the importance of faith and trust in God's plan, even when things are difficult.
