MC Mario Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home, I was a king I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
I hear the sounds from the places where I was born

Up on the hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah

Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah

There was a time, I met a girl of a different kind
We ruled the world,
Thought I'll never lose her out of sight
We were so young
I think of her now and then
I still hear the songs, reminding me of a friend

Up on the hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh




Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't You Worry Child" by MC Mario is a nostalgic piece about the memories that the singer has from his childhood. In the beginning of the song, he reminisces about the days when he used to look into his father's eyes and felt like a king in his happy home with a golden throne. However, things have changed and now all he has are memories hanging on the wall. Through it all, he can still hear the sounds of the places where he was born.


The second verse is about a girl he once knew who he thought he would never lose sight of. They ruled the world together, but they were young and eventually grew apart. However, he still hears songs that remind him of her and considers her a friend.


The chorus is a message of hope and reassurance. The singer's father tells him not to worry because heaven has a plan for him. The repetition of "don't you worry" reinforces this message and creates a sense of comfort for the listener. Another interesting aspect of the song is the use of the phrase "across the blue lake" in both verses. This creates a connection between the two memories and gives the song a cohesive structure.


Overall, "Don't You Worry Child" is a song about the power of nostalgia and the comfort of a parent's words of wisdom. It reminds us that even when things seem uncertain, there is a plan for us and we can find solace in our memories.
