Forward On
Kultiration Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
shadows grow so strong
But so fragile in the light of knowledge
Forward on, will is mute and will is clinging on,
in Babylon, can't find no light and no salvation
Youth man, hold your head up high and
Reach in for the light of the most high Hold your head up high
Chanting, embracing, meditating
Youth man, hold your head up high and
Reach in for the light of the most high
Hold your head up high
Breathing, feeling, serving forever…
Arise and be thy light,
let us be growing together in the right direction
Change shall bring our reconciliation,
as the fruits of tomorrow are planted today,
now is the time of our own redemption
So long, been neglecting faith for so long,
now I'm feeling it so strong
Yes, bright just like the moonlight
Moving forward on,
embracing this day like there is no other one
Moment by moment
I'm watching this lion
conquer land and sea but foremost the man inside of me
Youth man, hold your head up high
Reach in for the light of the most high
Love yourself in and through, everywhere, all the time
Youth man, hold your head up high
Reach in for the light of the most high
Hold you head up high
So High.
Arise and be thy light,
let us be growing together in the right direction
Change shall bring our reconciliation,
as the fruits of tomorrow are planted today,
now is the time of our own redemption.
The lyrics of Kultiration's song "Forward On" are a powerful call to action for the youth to embrace the light of knowledge and the most high. The opening lines describe the struggle of hiding in the shadows for too long and the fragility that comes with being in the light of knowledge. The will to move forward is there, but it is mute and clinging on, unable to find salvation in Babylon.
The chorus urges youth to hold their heads up high and reach for the light of the most high, through chanting, embracing, meditating, breathing, feeling, and serving. The verses then speak of the need for change and reconciliation, and the importance of taking action in the present to plant the seeds for a better future. The final lines speak of conquering the man inside oneself and embracing self-love, before once again repeating the call to arise and be the light.
The themes of the song are universal and timeless, resonating with anyone who has felt lost or disconnected from themselves and seeking to find their way forward. The lyrics are poetic and emotive, conveying a sense of urgency and hope to the listener.

So long, been hiding for so long,
I've been hiding for a long time
shadows grow so strong
I'm surrounded by darkness
But so fragile in the light of knowledge
But I feel weak and vulnerable in the face of truth
Forward on, will is mute and will is clinging on,
Still, I push forward, even though I feel powerless
in Babylon, can't find no light and no salvation
I'm lost and can't find hope or a way out
Youth man, hold your head up high and
Hey there, young person, don't lose hope and
Reach in for the light of the most high
Look to a higher power for guidance
Hold your head up high
Keep your chin up
Chanting, embracing, meditating
Singing, hugging, and focusing on inner peace
Breathing, feeling, serving forever…
Breathing deeply, feeling emotions, and serving others for eternity
Arise and be thy light,
Wake up and be a beacon of hope
let us be growing together in the right direction
Let's all work towards positive change
Change shall bring our reconciliation,
Change will lead to our coming together
as the fruits of tomorrow are planted today,
Today's actions will determine tomorrow's outcomes
now is the time of our own redemption
This is the moment for us to find salvation
So long, been neglecting faith for so long,
I've been ignoring my beliefs for too long
now I'm feeling it so strong
Now I feel it with all my heart
Yes, bright just like the moonlight
I feel radiant like the light of the moon
Moving forward on,
I keep pushing forward
embracing this day like there is no other one
I embrace each day with gratitude
Moment by moment
One moment at a time
I'm watching this lion
I'm observing my bravery
conquer land and sea but foremost the man inside of me
As I overcome external obstacles, I'm really strengthening my inner self
Youth man, hold your head up high
Young person, keep your spirits up
Love yourself in and through, everywhere, all the time
Love yourself completely, always and everywhere
So High.
As high as you can
