Help You Find Your Way
Michael W. Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It can be wise
Or it can be a paradox
To seek solace in your solitude
And when it feels
Like you're living in a box
You need someone who believes in you
A promise true when tried
I'll be right here by your side
So whenever your need be
Know that you can lean on me

I'll help you find your way
I'll help you find your way
When you're lost in all the madness
When you're blinded by your doubt
When you need someone to be there for you
I'll help you find your way

Don't keep your thoughts
Locked behind your cellar door
All shrouded in a mystery
Just let them out
That's what friends are for
To give without giving the "third degree"
No need to be ashamed
I've been through' it just the same
So when your path misleads
Know that you can call on me

I'll help you find your way
I'll help you find your way
When you're lost in all the madness
When you're blinded by your doubt




When you need someone to be there for you
I'll help you find your way

Overall Meaning

The song "Help You Find Your Way" by Michael W. Smith is a touching tribute to the power of friendship and support during difficult times. The opening verse suggests that seeking comfort in solitude can sometimes be wise, but it can also be a paradox because we need someone to believe in us and support us when we feel trapped or lost. The singer promises to be that person - always there to lend a listening ear, and ready to offer help and guidance during moments of doubt or confusion.


One of the key themes of the song is the importance of vulnerability and openness in relationships. The second verse encourages the listener to share their thoughts and feelings with trusted friends, without fear of being judged or criticized. The singer reassures the listener that there is no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed, as they have been through similar experiences themselves. The chorus echoes this message of unconditional support, promising to be there for the listener no matter what challenges they may face.
