You Are My Everything
Lenny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was born long ago
I am the chosen, I'm the one
I have come to save the day
And I won't leave until I'm done

So that's why you've got to try
You got to breath and have some fun
Though I'm not paid, I play this game
And I won't stop until I'm done

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to, got to know

I don't know why we always cry
This we must leave and get undone
We must engage and rearrange
And turn this planet back to one

So tell me why we got to die
And kill each other one by one
We've got to hug and rub-a-dub
We've got to dance and be in love

(But what I really want to know is)
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to, got to know

Are you gonna go my way?




'Cause, baby, I got to know
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way" have meaning that goes beyond the surface level. The opening lines, "I was born long ago, I am the chosen, I'm the one," suggest that the singer believes he has a purpose and has been chosen to fulfill it. He sings that he has come to "save the day," which could refer to anything from saving himself to saving the world. The lines "And I won't leave until I'm done" suggest a determination and commitment to completing his mission.


The second verse addresses the human condition and our tendency towards violence and destruction. The lines "So tell me why we got to die and kill each other one by one" express the singer's frustration with the state of the world. He calls for unity and love, suggesting that we "turn this planet back to one."


The chorus, "But what I really want to know is, are you gonna go my way? And I got to, got to know," is both an invitation and a challenge. It suggests that he is looking for companionship on his journey, but also that he is determined to fulfill his mission whether or not anyone follows him.


Overall, "Are You Gonna Go My Way" is a plea for unity and a call to action. The singer challenges his listeners to join him on his journey towards a better world.

I was born long ago
I have existed for a long time
