Where I stand
Mбire Brennan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will a gentle voice
Guide me out side this frame
Sweep stars around us
Now the flowerless trees
Blooming carefree
Wonderful days
Wonderful life with love
Faded rain
From where I stand
A wasted life I had on my hands
Down the scented ways I did stray
But I'm weak
Don't let me go
I found you love
Inside my heart
When my world was falling apart
Your golden breath
Took darkness away
If I ask You won't let me go
Light me a candle
Will the flicker grow
Reach me within my soul
Sweet streams are melting
No more broken games
Now for me to play
Wonderful ways
Wonderful life
Wonderful life with love
Faded rain
From where I stand
A wasted life I had on my hands
Down the scented ways I did stray
But I'm weak
Don't let me go
I found your love
Inside my heart
When my world was falling apart
Your golden breath
Took darkness away
If I ask You won't let me go
Faded rain
From where I stand
A wasted life I had on my hands
Down the scented ways I did stray
But I'm weak
Don't let me go
I found your love
Inside my heart
When my world was falling apart
Your golden breath
Took darkness away
If I ask You won't let me go
The lyrics of Mбire Brennan's song "Where I Stand" convey a yearning for love, guidance, and redemption. The first verse opens with the plea, "Fear not the stillness," suggesting that the singer is seeking solace in silence and stillness, perhaps to clear her mind and gain clarity. She longs for a gentle voice to guide her beyond the limitations of her current situation or "frame," as if she feels stuck or trapped. The imagery of stars being swept around the singer suggests a sense of wonder, as if she is being transported to another realm or level of consciousness. The mention of flowerless trees blooming carefree may symbolize a kind of rebirth or rejuvenation, as if the singer is shedding old ways of being and finding new life.
The chorus proclaims a message of hope and gratitude: "Wonderful days, wonderful life, wonderful life with love." The singer seems to have found salvation in the form of love and is appreciating the beauty of life as a result. However, the second verse takes a more reflective and regretful tone, as the singer laments a "wasted life" and straying down "scented ways" that led to brokenness. She acknowledges her own weakness but begs not to be let go, and describes finding love inside her heart as her world was falling apart. The idea of a "golden breath" taking darkness away speaks to a transformative power of love, as if it has the ability to heal and uplift.

I saw him perform when I was visiting California! I had no idea I was supposed to dress up for the show, but it makes sense being as it was in L.A. 😂
First thing he said when he came onstage, was, ‘Well, most of you look great tonight.’
I was in the front, wearing colorful weed leggings, a backwards hat, and a rainbow drug rug 😂 he looked right at me.
