Hello World
Lady Antebellum(레이디 앤터벨룸) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talk radio screams at me
Through my tinted window I see
A little girl, rust red minivan
She's got chocolate on her face
Got little hands, and she waves at me
Ya, she smiles at me
How you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel, cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, little hope
In a little girl
Well hello world
Every day I drive by
A little white church
It's got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in
Say a prayer
Maybe talk to God
Like he is there
Oh I know he is there
Ya, I know he's there
Well hello world
How you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I'm never going to heal
I see a light
Little grace, little faith for the world
Hello world
Sometimes I forget what living's for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I'll breathe it in
Oh I'm home again
I see my wife, little boy, little girl
Hello world
Hello world
All the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
Just surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world
Hello world
Hello world
The song Hello World by Lady Antebellum starts off by painting a vivid picture of the hustle and bustle of the city, where traffic crawls, cell phones ring, and talk radio blares. In the midst of this, the singer notices a little girl in a rust-red minivan, who smiles and waves at the singer even though she has chocolate on her face and little hands. This moment of innocence and simplicity in the midst of chaos is a reminder of the beauty of the world and that there is hope even in the darkest moments. The chorus then follows, where the singer greets the world with positivity, acknowledging that even though life can be hard and cold, there are moments of grace and faith that keep us going.
Later in the song, the singer talks about how they drive by a little white church every day and notice the little white crosses in the yard, almost like angels watching over it. This prompts the singer to consider stopping in and having a conversation with God, perhaps saying a prayer and acknowledging that God is present even in the most mundane and ordinary moments. In the final verse, the singer reflects on how sometimes they forget the purpose of life and get lost in the noise and clutter of everyday living, but coming home to their family and seeing their little boy and girl reminds them of the simple joys of life and the beauty of the world.
Overall, Hello World is a reminder to the listener that even though life can be tough and full of challenges, there are still moments of clarity, grace, and faith that make it all worth it. It's an invitation to see the world through the eyes of a child, to embrace the little things, and to remember that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope.
