Will You Follow
Russell/Lande Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lonely one of young so brokenhearted
Travelling down the rigid road of life
Using pharmaceutical extractions
To find the paradise

Finds the high but comes down feeling lower
Gets down on their knees and starts to pray
Looking up to heaven for the answer

They hear a voice that says

You will know
Troubled heart you'll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show

You will know
Troubled heart you'll know
Every life has reason
For I made it so

Single parent trying to raise their children
But they would much rather not alone
Reaches out to find that special someone
To make their house a home

Finds someone but no one is the right one
Gets down on their knees and starts to pray
Looking up to heaven for the answer
They hear a voice that says

You will know
Troubled heart you'll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show

You will know
Troubled heart you'll know

Every life has reason
For I made it so

Overall Meaning

The song "Will You Follow" by Russell/Lande talks about the struggles of life and how people turn to drugs, substances or other means to cope with their problems. The first verse talks about a person who is heartbroken and resorts to drugs to find some kind of paradise in their life. However, after getting high, they come down feeling even lower than before. In their despair, they pray for an answer and hear a voice that says that their problems have solutions and that they will come to know them if they trust.

The second verse talks about a single parent who is trying to raise their children alone and wants to find someone to share their life with. They find someone, but that person is not the right one. Once again, they pray for an answer and hear the same voice as before, which tells them that their problems have solutions and that every life has a reason, even if they cannot see it yet.

The chorus reinforces the message of the voice, telling people that they will come to know the answers to their problems if they trust and have faith. Every life has a reason, even though it may not seem that way at times.

The message of the song is one of hope and faith. Even when life's struggles seem overwhelming, there is a reason for everything, and the solutions to our problems are out there if we trust and have faith.
