Here I Go Again
Rock Of Ages Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I sure know where I've been
Hangin' on the promises in the songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind, I ain't wastin' no more time
Here I go again, here I go again
Though I keep searchin' for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm lookin' for, no
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams, yeah
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
Oh yeah, and I ain't wastin' no more time
Just another heart in need of rescue
Waitin' on a love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
Oh yeah, I ain't wastin' no more time
But here I go again, here I go again
Here I go, here I go, here I go again
Ooh, yeah, yeah, here I go
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
Oh yeah, I ain't wastin' no more time
Come on, here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Here I go again

Uncertain of my destination
But I sure know where I've been
Clear about my past
Hangin' on the promises in the songs of yesterday
Holding onto hopes from the past
And I've made up my mind, I ain't wastin' no more time
Decided to move forward without delay

I am yet to find my desired outcome
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
Seeking divine help for perseverance
'Cause I know what it means
Because I have experienced
To walk along the lonely street of dreams, yeah
The emotional path of pursuing aspirations alone
And here I go again on my own
Starting anew without assistance
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Following the only familiar path
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Embracing independence even since birth
Just another heart in need of rescue
Another person hoping for salvation
Waitin' on a love's sweet charity
In need of love and support
And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
Determined to endure for a lifetime
'Cause I know what it means
Since I have experienced
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Persisting on the emotionally challenging path to fulfill dreams
But here I go again, here I go again
Launching anew
Ooh, yeah, yeah, here I go
With excitement and anticipation
Come on, here I go again on my own
Moving forward solo
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Follow the familiar path
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Inclined towards being alone
'Cause I know what it means
Since I have experienced
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Struggling through the isolation of pursuing one's aspirations
Here I go again
Restarting again and again
