Come What May
Lani Hall and Herb Albert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold me in your heart
We could love so free
And know it never goodbye
But I am not a child
And wish for star frame
My love
No I never be afraid of who I am
Wish I was a bird
I warmed you with my wings
Safe from all the storm
You know what true love can bring
But I am not a bird
And wishes and just fly away
My love
No I never be afraid of who I am
And who I am not come what may
La la la
La la la
But I am not the voice
Shinning in your eyes
That you understand
My love
No we never be afraid of who we are
And who were not come what may
No we never be afraid of who we are
And who were not come what may
No we never be afraid of who we are
And who were not come what may
The lyrics to Lani Hall and Herb Albert's song Come What May are centered around a longing for a deep and free love that transcends societal expectations and constraints. The first verse begins with the desire to be held in the heart of a lover with the kind of love that never ends or says goodbye. However, the desire quickly becomes tempered by the reality that the singer is not a child and must embrace the truth of who they are, regardless of the limitations placed upon them. This theme carries through the second verse, as the singer wishes to be like a bird that can shelter their lover from the storms of life, only to realize that they too cannot escape their own limitations. The song comes to a conclusion with the repeated refrain that the singer is not the idealized version of themselves that their lover may want, but that they will not be afraid of who they are and who they are not, come what may.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of longing for a love that is free from the constraints of society, expectations, and limitations placed upon individuals. The repeated refrain of not being afraid of who they are and who they are not reinforces the idea that the singer is willing to be vulnerable and authentic in their love, even if their lover cannot fully understand them. This honesty and vulnerability may be what ultimately allows for a love that can transcend societal expectations and be truly liberating and fulfilling.

If only, yes. If we could this world would be a much better place for all of us.

There's a lady with a very special voice and a man with a very special talent. Now they're together it's as though anything else is like rubbing two bits of uranium together to keep warm. I've not seen a love like that in over forty years, and may they win life forever.
