One way
Norman Larry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold up high your hands
One way, free and forgiven
Children of the Lamb
Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard a wise man say
And I took the one less traveled by
So I say one way, one way to Heaven
Hold your heads up high
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the sky
Children of the sky, halelu
Children of the sky
In Norman Larry's song "One Way," the lyrics are discussing the idea that there is only one way to reach Heaven, and that is by holding up your hands and following the path of righteousness. The song references a quote from Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken," which talks about how taking the road less traveled can make all the difference. The singer of this song explains that by following the one true path to Heaven, they have indeed taken the road less traveled, and it has made all the difference in their life.
The repeated phrase "children of the sky" is likely a reference to Christian beliefs that Christians are the children of God, and will ascend to Heaven when they pass away. This song seems to be encouraging listeners to take the path less traveled, resist temptation, and follow the one true path to Heaven. It is a song that is steeped in religious imagery and ideas, and is meant to offer comfort and guidance to those who are struggling with their faith.
