Small Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're on the outside looking in - No one can see
Stormy days when I was younger
In many ways they made me stronger
'Cause I've been knocked down
And I've been lifted up
Cried a thousand tears of joy and fear
I've been there
I've been there
Seen my dreams in flames
Rise back up again
I have known despair and I've walked on air
I've been there
I've been there
I've been there
I've been there
No one can tell me how it feels to be afraid
All of the ghosts they won't lie still - They know my name
Late at night I hear them calling
But that's a place I won't be falling
'Cause I've been knocked down
And I've been lifted up
Cried a thousand tears of joy and fear
I've been there
I've been there
I've been there
Seen my dreams in flames
Rise back up again
I have known despair and I've walked on air
I've been there
I've been there
I've been there
And I'm telling you what I've been through
'Cause I'm still standing here
It's the simple truth
When hope is nowhere to be found it always comes around
'Cause I've been knocked down
And I've been lifted up
Cried a thousand tears of joy and fear-
The lyrics to Small's song are about how he has experienced both good and bad times in life, but he has come out stronger from the difficult experiences. The opening lines emphasize that nobody else truly understands Small's experiences except for himself. The line "stormy days when I was younger" suggests that the difficult times have been a part of his life since he was young. The repetition of the phrase "I've been there" is a way of asserting that he has gone through tough times and come out victorious.
The next stanza includes a shift to a more hopeful tone. The lyrics mention that Small has seen his dreams go up in flames, but he has also been able to rebuild them. The line "I have known despair and I've walked on air" suggests that even when things seem impossible, Small has found a way to overcome and even triumph. The repetition of "I've been there" reinforces the idea that these experiences are a part of his life story.
In the final stanza, Small directly addresses the listener and tells them that he is still standing despite everything he has been through. The line "when hope is nowhere to be found it always comes around" suggests that even when things seem hopeless, there is always a chance for things to get better. The repetition of the chorus again cements the idea that Small has been through a lot but he has come out stronger on the other side.
Overall, the song is an uplifting reminder that people can overcome adversity and become stronger because of it. The repetition of "I've been there" is a powerful refrain that acknowledges the difficulty of life, while also emphasizing the hope and resilience that people can find within themselves.

I was a caretaker for a brain-injured guy in 2013 when I got an MP3 player. I asked if he wanted to hear my '60s folder. He said Yes. This song came on but about 15 seconds in, it shut off. I thought oh, in his situation he doesn't want to hear "It's all so beautiful". I went to apologize for being insensitive, but before I could, the song BLASTED full volume. One of his favorites! He was a bit of a pothead but thanks Lee, it's a fond memory.
