Onward
Onward (USA) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alone and abandoned
Feeling the wind and the icy cold rain
Feeling each step, destiny hidden
All to aware of the fear and the pain
Feeling the sting of true betrayal
Now I have no one to trust but myself
Yet there is still wind to fill my sail
A paradise I seek shall be found
The only one I'll know
I challenge failure to cut me down
Cause it's onward I shall go
My power strength shall never die
As long as I stay alive
One word shall always be by my side
Ever moving onward!!!!
Battles I've won,
The war I have lost
My blood and my tears
They are equally spilled
The risk I shall take,
The feel of the cost
The prophecies of shattered dreams
Now fulfilled
The specters they watch,
I can hear them laugh
Yet I will impale onto their doubting eyes
Victory due one of these days
Revenge will silently
Come all in due time
Onward on, never underestimate my force of will
Onward on, never I will hesitate to know
That I will fight!!
Onward I walk, with each step now close
But closer to something that might not be there
Using the rage, feeling the hunger
The book that I read always has a new page
Come strike me down, take all that you need
Resilience is my new found weapon of choice
Again I will rise, one day I will win
As long as I sing onward cry from my voice!!

Onward I walk,
I am moving forward with determination
Alone and abandoned
Without companionship or support
Feeling the wind and the icy cold rain
Sensing the harshness of the elements
Feeling each step, destiny hidden
Being aware of every move, unsure of what the future holds
All to aware of the fear and the pain
Very conscious of the emotions of fear and suffering
Feeling the sting of true betrayal
Experiencing the hurt of disloyalty from someone trusted
Now I have no one to trust but myself
Realizing that self-reliance is the only option
I am now one, no more believer
No longer having faith in anyone or anything
Yet there is still wind to fill my sail
Optimism remains and provides momentum
A paradise I seek shall be found
I have a goal to reach a place of happiness
The only one I'll know
The ultimate destination will have a special meaning for me alone
I challenge failure to cut me down
I am determined to overcome obstacles
Cause it's onward I shall go
Because the only way forward is ahead
My power strength shall never die
My inner force will always remain alive
As long as I stay alive
As long as I survive
One word shall always be by my side
The word 'onward' will always be with me
Ever moving onward!!!!
Always advancing forward
Battles I've won,
I have been victorious in certain conflicts
The war I have lost
Overall, I have not succeeded
My blood and my tears
I have shed both blood and tears
They are equally spilled
Both fluids have been released in equal measure
The risk I shall take,
I am willing to take the chance
The feel of the cost
Understanding the potential price of my actions
The prophecies of shattered dreams
What once seemed like a hopeful future is now broken
Now fulfilled
The predictions have come to pass
The specters they watch,
Ghosts watch on
I can hear them laugh
The spirits seem to be mocking me
Yet I will impale onto their doubting eyes
I will prove them wrong despite their skepticism
Victory due one of these days
I will eventually achieve success
Revenge will silently
I will get back at those who wronged me in a quiet but impactful manner
Come all in due time
Justice will come eventually
Onward on, never underestimate my force of will
I will continue moving ahead with a strong determination
Onward on, never I will hesitate to know
I will never doubt my path forward
That I will fight!!
I will always push back against opposition
Onward I walk, with each step now close
With every step I take, I get closer to my goal
But closer to something that might not be there
Even though I'm making progress, the end result may not be attainable
Using the rage, feeling the hunger
I am channeling my emotions to fuel my journey
The book that I read always has a new page
Every day brings new opportunities
Come strike me down, take all that you need
I am willing to accept the blows of failure
Resilience is my new found weapon of choice
My ability to bounce back is my greatest strength
Again I will rise, one day I will win
Each setback only makes me stronger, and eventually I will succeed
As long as I sing onward cry from my voice!!
As long as I keep repeating the word 'onward,' I will keep moving forward
