Jordan
Rival Sons Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The wolves look to the moon
And the ocean to the sky
I've looked to you my whole life
Now I have to say goodbye
But to say that I've lost you
Is a selfish thing to say
I've never seen nothing as beautiful
As watching you slip away

Ooh

I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than to stay right here with me
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Now let your soul go free

You did it all with feeling
And failure, you took it gracefully
You said, "Third star to the right, straight until morning
When you need me, you know that's where I'll be"
Now the rest of my life without you
Right now it's hard to conceive
You said, "Don't cry for me now, you've got to remember
There is no death for those that believe"

Ooh

I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than to keep you right here with me
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Now let your soul go free
Let your soul go free

Meet you on the other side of the Jordan

Now let your soul be free
Rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than to keep you right here with me

On the other side of the Jordan
Let your soul go free
In the arms of your angels
Than keep you right here with me
Meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Than to keep you right here with me
Rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Let your soul be free
Meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Let your soul be free
Rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than keep you right here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rival Sons' "Jordan" are a moving tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The song opens with the image of wolves looking up at the moon and the ocean reaching towards the sky, and the singer reflects on how he has always looked up to the person he has lost. He acknowledges that it is selfish to say he has lost them, as their beauty remains with him even as they slip away. The chorus expresses the sentiment that he would rather see them go with their angels, to find freedom from their pain or suffering, than to keep them here with him.

The second verse highlights the person's strength and grace in the face of failure and adversity, and they share a comforting message to the singer that they will always be there for him, a guiding star to light the way. The final choruses repeat the idea of meeting the person on the other side of the Jordan River, an allusion to the afterlife, and letting their soul be free with their angels. The overall tone is one of sadness and loss, but also of an acceptance that death is not an end, but a transition to another world.

Line by Line Meaning

The wolves look to the moon
Nature looks to its guiding light for direction.

And the ocean to the sky
The vast body of water seeks a higher purpose.

I've looked to you my whole life
You, my loved one, were my beacon of hope and guidance throughout my life.

Now I have to say goodbye
It's time for me to let you go.

But to say that I've lost you
Using the phrase 'lost you' would be a selfish and inaccurate description of the situation.

Is a selfish thing to say
It's not about me, it's about you and your journey.

I've never seen nothing as beautiful
The act of watching you gracefully slip away is stunning to me.

As watching you slip away
It's like watching a magical transformation.

I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
I want you to be lifted up and taken care of in the afterlife.

Than to stay right here with me
I don't want to hold you back from your next journey.

I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
I am confident that I'll see you again one day.

Now let your soul go free
It's time for your soul to fly and experience the freedom of the afterlife.

You did it all with feeling
Every moment of your life was filled with emotion and passion.

And failure, you took it gracefully
You handled your setbacks with poise and dignity.

You said, 'Third star to the right, straight until morning
You had a hopeful outlook on life and a belief in direction and purpose.

When you need me, you know that's where I'll be'
You promised to always be there for me, even in the afterlife.

Now the rest of my life without you
My future now feels uncertain without you by my side.

Right now it's hard to conceive
It's difficult to imagine life without you here with me.

You said, 'Don't cry for me now, you've got to remember
You wanted me to stay strong and remember the good times we shared.

There is no death for those that believe'
You believed in an afterlife and the continuation of the soul beyond earthly existence.

Let your soul go free
Fly away and be unencumbered by earthly limitations.

On the other side of the Jordan
In the afterlife, beyond the river Jordan.

In the arms of your angels
Being embraced and guided by celestial beings.

Than keep you right here with me
I don't want to hold you back from what comes next for you.

Meet you on the other side of the Jordan
I'll see you again in the next life.

Let your soul be free
Release yourself from the earthly plane and be free.

Rather see you go in the arms of your angels
I want you to be taken care of and protected by celestial beings.

Than keep you right here with me
I can't keep you from your destiny and what's next for you.

Lyrics:
The wolves look to the moon.
And the ocean to the sky.
I've looked to you my whole life
Now I have to say goodbye...

But to say that I've lost you,
It's a selfish thing to say.
I've never seen nothing as beautiful
As watching you slip away

I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than to keep you right here with me.
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Now let your soul go free...

You did it all with feeling,
And failure, you took it gracefully.
You said "third star to the right
And straight on until morning.
When you ned me, you know
That's where I'll be"

Now the rest of my life without you
Right now it's hard to conceive,
You said, "don't cry form me now
You've got to remember
There is no death fot those that belive"

I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than to keep you right here with me.
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Now let your soul go free...🖤

Sometimes we want people to stay here with us because we care so much about them. However they are at their time to leave us and pass. Often to stay for them means suffering for many reasons. In that situation wanting to keep them here can be selfish in a way! It all comes down to whats best for them, not us! Hard to say let alone do! This song touches that issue.....

"I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than to keep you right here with me.
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Now let your soul go free......"

Beautiful and Sad, yet true!
If you have experienced this you can really appreciate this song even more!

Oh my God, I think I've listened to this over 100 times in one night. Love it so much! !!! Talking love that has gone to the afterlife, I sent to a widow friend of mine Lyrics here "Jordan"
The wolves look to the moon
And the ocean to the sky
I've looked to you my whole life
Now I have to say goodbye
But to say that I've lost you
It's such a selfish thing to say
I've never seen nothing as beautiful
As watching you slip away
I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than to keep you right here with me
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Now let your soul go free
You did it all with feeling
And failure, you took it gracefully
You said third star to the right
And straight on until morning
When you need me, you know
That's where I'll be
Now the rest of my life without you
Right now it's hard to conceive
You said, don't cry for
me now
You've got to remember
There is no death for those that believe
I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than to keep you right here with me
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Now let your soul go free

So far there are only 241 demons attacking.
There are more than 13,000 angels singing along with just this one song.
Goodness still outnumbers evil, as now you can see.
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan, once I am proven wrong.
God Bless The Rival Sons and their ministry.
You restore faith, love and truth.
Grateful for eternity,
Cedric P.
God Bless you.

+Alexander Everhart You are correct Gene is wrong BUT your generations propensity to share everything causes problems. Now I'm just talking economics bands need money to exist, and yes if the become famous they are entitled to become rich. The egalitarian view was not what motivated Pete Townshend or Jimmy Page OR Mick Jagger yes they wanted to be rock gods, they also wanted the money. Folks you have to pony up for the music. I personally buy my music in CD form old as that may seem directly from the artist web page. I know they made their money that way. Gene is right not paying for stuff de-incentivizes artists and forces them onto the round ALL the time. They have families ya'll they want to be home to. Pay for the music, enjoy the music.

@alexandereverhart654

+K6III450MHZ I'm 44 years old . . . what generation are you talking about? I've purchased all of Rival Sons albums on CD; have seen them in concert and have purchased a couple of their tour shirts.

Bottom line, Gene is wrong (and a complete douche) rock is not dead, it's alive and well with Rival Sons.

This song brings me to tears and gets my short hairs to stand up every time I listen to it. I played this for 81 year old father who , to much of my surprise said "them boys know how to play a song right" even listen to a few other songs. That says a lot for a man who is more of a Merle Haggard fan. IDK who reads these but it don't much matter. I have been a loyal fan from the day I was introduced to your music. Thanks for doing what you do!

Quite uncanny how there are so many posts here about people losing parents, particularly fathers. I discovered this band recently and loved their songs. Especially "Electric man" and "Where I've been". The day after I heard of my dad's diagnosis of leukemia, I heard Jordan the first time and I howled. Exactly a month after that my dad passed and I played this song to my mom and brother and we all howled. These guys seem to really hit a note with the most sincere and unadulterated raw passion and emotion. Was looking forward to introducing my dad to this band when I saw him again. As the man who taught me everything I know about music, he would definitely have been a fan of there's. Much respect

My father died yesterday and I have been listening to and been comforted by this song since he got sick two weeks ago. This is how it feels to lose someone you love. Magic song, magic performance and Jay is singing straight into my heart. Thank you for making my loss a bit more bearable.

Sorry for your loss, Danne Pohl, I understand really so well: I did listen to this song a lot when my father went into the Light (in 2015) - it really healed me a little bit...

@evulmievl

it's been over a year but I still want to say I'm sorry for your loss. I've been there.

@racheldobbs2028

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my daddy a few months ago

@therightfish

@@evulmievl 1 year or eternity, time is of little consequence when speaking of the loss of a soul so dear to ones own. I will miss dad until my death

The most unique voice of our time? Genuine leather. Authentic and smooth. With a bit of a smokey edge. Jay Buchanan performs from the heart. God bless and keep you as this song helps you through the grief of your loss. Until you wade across that river into you dad’s loving arms. Peace. Rest in God’s comfort and assurance man.

I lost my best friend down to an overdose about 2 and a half years a go, man if he was still alive I swear I'd slap him if I knew what he was doing. But this song always reminds me of the final day that I saw him in his coffin.. it killed me mentally. He was a prick sometimes but it hurts you know? He just walked the wrong path as some people do. Man I miss our stupid antics when we were kids. He was only 30, that's no age. RIP Lee Boss, until we meet again my brother from another mother.. fly high bro, we will meet again, but not yet 🤘

So sorry Luis . I've lost both of my parents as well and there has never been any other pain that can compare . We will never get over it , the best we can do is work through it every moment forward . Hold on as tight as you can to what you truly believe in and what your parents would want for you . God bless you sir !!!

I would love to see an entire album of folk acoustic tracks like this. I love everything they do, but this is just pure magic and I could sink gracefully into an album of this candor and tone. Great music does live on, and this will surely be timeless.

This song is absolutely beautiful and inspiring! It is deeply touching, too. Jay Buchanan is a gift that keeps on giving. My favorite lyrics: “There is no death for those who believe.” From this day forward I will tell loved ones: “I will see you on the other side of the Jordan.”
