Take a Walk with Love
Sheree Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Birds in the sky fly high. Have you ever wondered why? Don't have to try hard, the answer will come with time. Strolling like a breeze blowing through my mind.
I think I'll take a walk with love. You can never love 'til love's enough. So let it fly just like a dove. I think I'll take a walk with love.
Just like honey and bees, and all the fish in the sea When it comes to love there is a deep meaning. When love is true it's not a passing thing.
I think I'll take a walk with love. You can never love 'til love's enough. So let it fly just like a dove. I think I'll take a walk with love.

When it comes to love there is a deep meaning. When love is true it's not a passing thing.
I think I'll take a walk with love. You can never love 'til love's enough. So let it fly just like a dove. I think I'll take a walk with love.
The lyrics of Sheree Brown's "Take a Walk with Love" speak about the importance of love and taking a stroll with it. The first verse highlights the fact that one can never truly love until there is enough love to go around. The metaphor of a dove is a clear symbol of the gentle and peaceful nature of love. The chorus repeats this idea, emphasizing the importance of love and the importance of letting it grow and spread.
The second verse shifts its attention to the natural world, specifically birds, and their ability to take flight. The meaning behind this metaphor is that we can learn from nature and not always "try hard" to understand love. Instead, the answer will come naturally, like a gentle breeze blowing through the mind.
The bridge brings us back to the deeper meaning of love and compares it to honey and bees or the fish in the sea. These are natural elements that are essential to their ecosystems, just as love is essential to our lives. The final chorus reiterates the idea of allowing love to fly free like a dove, emphasizing that true love is not fleeting but is something that lasts.
