Save The Day
Mariah Carey with Ms. Lauryn Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're my only hope
And it's too divided
Too deep to understand
But if we don't do it
Tell me who will?
Oh, we say these words
That don't mean too much
It's curious
The fear still holding us down
One day, will we look up?
Y'all know what this is
You got a right to your own opinion
But when it comes to the world we live in
Isn't it time that we start rebuilding
All of the things that have basically crumbled
We all tend to forget that
We all cease to exist if
We all live for ourselves
If nobody bothers to find a solution
If he won't and she won't
And they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
Oh, if he won't and she won't
And they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
We're all in this together
You're my only hope (only hope)
And it's too divided
Too deep to understand
But if we don't do it
Tell me who will?
We say these words
That don't mean too much
I wonder, where is the love?
It's curious
That fear still holding us back
One day, will we look up?
It's up to us
If he won't and she won't
And they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
(To save the day, to save the day)
Oh, if he won't and she won't
And they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
(Ever learn, no)
La-la, la, la-la, la
Whoa, la
Whoa, la
La
If he won't and she won't
And they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
(To save the day)
Oh, if he won't and she won't
And they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
(Gonna have to learn to save the day)
If he won't and she won't
And they won't, then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
We gon' learn, we gon' learn
Said we gotta learn
In Lauryn Hill's song "Save The Day," she sends a powerful message about the importance of coming together to overcome the many challenges we face today. She begins by acknowledging that we are all in this together and that we need to unite as one to address the deep division and confusion that prevents us from moving forward. She asks a poignant question: "if we don't do it, tell me who will?" It's clear that she believes that we are responsible for making a change and taking action to make the world a better place.
Lauryn Hill emphasizes the importance of community and rebuilding what has been lost. She acknowledges that we all have the right to our individual opinions, but that we must put aside our differences and work together to find a solution. The line "We all tend to forget that we all cease to exist if we all live for ourselves" emphasizes that we are all connected and that our actions impact others. The chorus repeats the idea that if he won't, she won't, and they won't, then we won't ever learn to save the day. It's ultimately up to us to come together and make a change.
The song is a call to action and a reminder that we have the power to create positive change in the world if we work together. The use of the phrase "save the day" implies that there is a sense of urgency and that we need to act now. The song highlights the importance of unity and love in overcoming our fears and divisions. It's a powerful reminder that we are capable of so much more when we come together.

We're all in this together
We are all in the same situation and need to work together
You're my only hope
You are the one that I am relying on to make a change
And it's too divided

Too deep to understand
The root of the issue is hard to comprehend
But if we don't do it
If we do not take action
Tell me who will?
Who else will step up to make a change?

Y'all know what this is
You are aware of what situation we are referring to
You got a right to your own opinion
You have the freedom to have your own point of view
But when it comes to the world we live in
However, regarding the state of our world
Isn't it time that we start rebuilding
Shouldn't we begin the process of healing and fixing what is broken
All of the things that have basically crumbled
All of the things that have been destroyed or fallen apart
We all tend to forget that
We often neglect to remember
We all cease to exist if
If we do not come together and solve these problems
We all live for ourselves

If nobody bothers to find a solution
If nobody takes the initiative to find a way to solve the problem
If he won't and she won't
If he or she is unwilling to take action
And they won't, then we won't
And if they also refuse to take action, neither will we
We won't ever learn to save the day
We will never know how to solve the problem and make a change
It's up to us
It is our responsibility to take action
La-la, la, la-la, la

We gon' learn, we gon' learn
We will learn
Said we gotta learn
It is imperative that we learn
