Where Do We Go
Lindsey Stirling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're sailing
We're sailing, aren't we?
It's hard to tell the water from my tears
Don't worry
Have faith they told me
It was easier than in my younger years

Now that I'm older, now that it's colder
Life keeps on crashing
Day after day, like a wave after wave
We did everything right and now I'm asking

Where do we go? oh
When our prayers are answered
Where do we go? oh
When our prayers are answered but the answer is no

Tell me where the wind blows
Tell me where the wind goes
Where do we go?

We're dreaming
We're dreaming, aren't we?
'Cause you're still with me sometimes when I sleep
This hallway, I'll walk it bravely
And all the cliffs and faultlines in between

Now that I'm older, now that it's colder
Life keeps on crashing
Day after day, like a wave after wave
We did everything right and now I'm asking

Where do we go? oh
When our prayers are answered
Where do we go? oh
When our prayers are answered but the answer is no

Tell me where the wind blows
Tell me where the wind goes
Where do we go?

Where do we go? oh
When our prayers are answered
Where do we go? oh
When our prayers are answered but the answer is no

Tell me where the wind blows




Tell me where the wind goes
Where do we go?

Carah Faye is a powerful emotional journey of the struggle to find meaning and hope in life, despite the difficulties and disappointments that inevitably come our way. It begins with a metaphorical sailing trip, where the singer reflects on how difficult it is to tell the water from her tears, which suggests that she is struggling to keep her emotions under control. She has been told to have faith, but she is finding it hard to do so, even though it was easier when she was younger.


As the song progresses, the singer's struggles become more evident. She realizes that life keeps on crashing day after day, like wave after wave, and struggles to understand why, despite doing everything right, things are not going as planned.
