My Heart
Life-Work Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in the dark
No one to hold
And suspense
Is what I sense
The wind is loud
A strike of lightning
Leaves a cloud
But then I hear
Look in your heart
Find out what it wants to say
Search for the signs
That show you the way
Awake at dawn
I feel so good feel like reborn
Can't explain
I'm lost from pain
Don't know what happened in this night
I see things in a different light
And I know
My courage will grow when I
Look in my heart
Find out what it wants to say
Search for the signs
That show me the way
Feel like a child
Hear that long forgotten sound
And what seemed lost
Again will be found
These lyrics revolve around the theme of self-exploration and self-discovery. The singer is alone in the dark, scared, and unsure of what to do. The metaphor of the storm outside reflects the turmoil within the singer's heart. However, amidst the chaos, the singer hears a voice telling them to look within and find the answers they seek. The voice tells the singer to trust their heart and search for the signs that will guide them on their path.
As the night passes, the singer awakens with a new sense of clarity and purpose. They feel renewed, almost reborn, and free from the pain they were feeling before. The singer recognizes that they have seen things in a different light and that their courage will continue to grow as long as they keep looking within their heart. The chorus repeats the message of self-discovery, urging the singer to search their heart for answers and trust the signs that they find. The final lines of the song suggest that by doing this, the singer will rediscover their childlike wonder and find what they once thought was lost.
