Strength
Moonchild Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Memories misbehave
A gift to save me from the same mistake
I keep your words near my heart
Hoping they'll find a way
Inside the loving part

It won't be long
My strength will come
It's been deep down all along
Not all at once
My strength will come
But I'm not wrong
I can feel it coming

Coming coming coming coming
Coming coming
I can feel it coming

I was sinking overthinking
What does it matter that I couldn't see let it go let it go
I put forgiveness in the air
Hoping that if I start
My heart will follow me there

It won't be long
My strength will come
It's been deep down
All along
Not all at once
My strength will come my strength will come
But I'm not wrong
I can feel it coming

Coming coming coming coming
Coming coming
I can feel it coming
Ooh ooh ooh

You are
We are

No it won't be long
My strength will come
It's been deep down
All along all along
Not all at once no no no no
Oh I feel it coming

I can feel it no it won't be long
I can feel it no it won't be long
I can feel it no it won't be long
I can feel it no it won't no it won't be long




No it won't won't be long
No mm

Overall Meaning

In the song "Strength" by Moonchild, the lyrics suggest that the persona is dealing with difficult memories that keep resurfacing. However, she tries to save herself from the same mistake by keeping the words from someone (possibly a loved one) close to her heart. She hopes these words will find a place to rest in her heart's loving side, an area where hope and love are nurtured. The singer believes that her strength will eventually come, and she trusts that it has been deep down inside her all along. She expects that the strength will come slowly, bit by bit, but she knows she can feel it coming.


The singer seems to have gone through some form of mental or emotional distress, and she is dealing with overthinking, feeling like she was sinking. She realized that holding on to the memory of the past doesn't matter anymore, and she needs to let go and let forgiveness take over. As she starts to forgive whoever it is she holds responsible for her current state, she puts her heart in a position to follow.


Despite the clear underlying feelings of pain within the lyrics, the song offers an optimistic view of things to come through the repetition of the phrase "It won't be long, my strength will come." The song serves as an encouragement to anyone going through a similar situation, that despite the seeming hopelessness of the moment, there is the possibility of a brighter tomorrow.
