Standing
Orchestra [Orchestra] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ポエジー 夜を見極めれば
真っ黒じゃなくて ブルー
さっきからスライドショーをしてる
思い出はリフレイン

高く飛ぶなら
向かい風を探すのさ
逆風めがけて
滑走路を走れ

春が来るだろう
ぼくらの春が
無邪気な風に乗って
遠く離れて
会えないときも
同じ空を見ていたのか

きみの涙を光らせた
お日さまを 見上げながら
青空と同じように
僕らも 晴れの日に ブルーなのさ

デマが流れて一つ一つ
弱さが崩れ出していく
倒れるためのゲームじゃない
倒れないドミノ
ここで食い止めるぜ

春が来るだろう
遠くないだろう
花も咲いてしまった
春が来るだろう
微笑みながら
じっと耐えているのだろう

春が来るだろう
ぼくらの春が
無邪気な風に乗って
さよならさえも




言えなかった日
同じ空を見上げていた

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Orchestra's song "Standing" depict a sense of hope and perseverance despite various challenges and emotional hardships. The song opens up with the line "if you look closely at the night, it's not just black, it's blue," signifying that even in the darkest of times, there is still a glimmer of hope. The recurring theme of memories and nostalgia is illustrated in the line "memories are a refrain," suggesting that despite moving on, the past still haunts and echoes within our minds.


Furthermore, the song expresses the idea of flying high and conquering obstacles. The lines "if you want to fly high, you have to find headwinds" and "run on the runway in the face of the tailwind" acknowledge the fact that there will always be obstacles standing in our way, but we must face them head-on to reach our goals. This idea of resilience and perseverance is also present in the lines "we won't let the dominoes fall" and "it's not a game of falling but of standing."


The song concludes with the optimistic sentiment that spring will come soon, a time for renewal and growth. However, the lyrics also acknowledge the bittersweet feelings of separation and distance, with the lines "even when we can't meet, we still looked up at the same sky" and "even the days we couldn't say goodbye, we still looked up at the same sky."


Overall, "Standing" is a song that encourages listeners to face their problems head-on and not be afraid to fall, but to always get back up and keep persevering towards their goals.

I been walkin'
With my face turned to the sun
Weight on my shoulders
A bullet in my gun
Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head
Just in case I have to run
I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
That's when I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I can feel it in my bones
Early in the mornin'
Before the sun begins to shine
We're gonna start movin'
Towards that separating line
I'm wadin' through muddy waters
You know I got a made up mind
And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die
So I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
And I know what's around the bend
Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
And I just might fail
But Lord knows I tried
Sure as stars fill up the sky
Stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Do you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
I hear freedom calling
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I can feel it in my bones
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you

She has a powerful voice and she sings a powerful message. I have to say, one of the biggest blessings, of this past year, was discovering the Danish National Symphony. It should be declared a World Treasure.

@Cathie46

Goodness, I hope Cynthia Erivo gets to see this. What an incredible performance. She had my vote for an Oscar for this song. That she didn't win broke my heart. You all sang beautifully.

@beab8738

I thought she was the youngest EGOT? Or did I mishear that somewhere

@BoetPrince

Cynthia Erivo was robbed
