Meant to Be
Rebelution Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see the sun come up
Time to get away from here
Time to make a new plan up again
Water never felt this good
Air it never felt so pure
It's time to make a new plan up again

Well it was true when I said it
I'd rather forget it
Well the past don't matter now
You think I owe you, but I gotta go
You see the past don't matter now

And it feels like life is taking over
It feels like it's meant to be
And it feels like life is taking over
It feels like it's meant to be

'Cause I can see the sun rise on my way
I can see the road rise to meet me
I can feel the earth underneath my feet
And I can see the stars on top of me
And I say don't ever come down, come down
I need your light now, right now
Don't ever come down, come down
I need your light now, right now

Now that I have come so far
I'm never looking back, no
Its time to make a new plan up again
Things have never looked so clear
I'm never looking back, no
Time to make a new plan up again

'Cause I can see the sun rise on my way
I can see the road rise to meet me
I can feel the earth underneath my feet
And I can see the stars on top of me
And I say don't ever come down, come down
I need your light now, right now
Don't ever come down, come down
I need your light now, right now

And it feels like life is taking over
It feels like it's meant to be
And it feels like life is taking over
It feels like it's meant to be

Well it was true when I said it
I'd rather forget it
Well the past don't matter now
You think I owe you, but I gotta go
You see the past don't matter now

And it feels like life is taking over
It feels like it's meant to be




And it feels like life is taking over
It feels like it's meant to be
