Dont You Worry Child
Swedish House Mafia & John Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a happy home, I was a king I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
I hear the sounds from the places where I was born
Up on the hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah
There was a time, I met a girl of a different kind
We ruled the world,
Thought I'll never lose her out of sight
We were so young
I think of her now and then
I still hear the songs, reminding me of a friend
Up on the hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
The first verse of "Don't You Worry Child" describes the innocence and security of childhood. The singer remembers a time when he was a king in his happy home, and his father would comfort him when things went wrong. He recalls the sounds of his birthplace, and the memories that now hang on the wall. However, the singer knows that these days are gone, and he is reminded of this when he thinks of a girl he once loved.
The chorus of the song serves as a reassuring message to the singer, and to the listener. The singer's father tells him not to worry, that heaven has a plan for him. This message is repeated throughout the song, in a hopeful, uplifting manner. The second verse goes on to describe how the singer fell in love with a girl, and how they felt invincible. The reference to the blue lake and heartbreak suggests that their relationship was connected to a specific place, and the singer is still reminded of her whenever he hears a particular song.
Overall, "Don't You Worry Child" is a song about hope and faith in the face of change and uncertainty. It acknowledges the fact that life can be difficult, but reminds us that everything happens for a reason, and that we are never truly alone.
