The Black Sheep Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every cell inside your head
Every bone inside your body’s set
To breath taking heights

How can we fully arise?
If we don’t take a breath
We have to realise
That today we are alive!

Come out now
Call out now
Don’t wait for a new dawn
Come out now
Call out now
This is the best time for you and me
Come out now
Call out now
Don’t wait for a better life
This is the best time for you and me

Any doubt inside your mind
Any caution makes you deaf and blind
Go ahead or revise

Oh, we will fully arise
If we take a breath
And we will realise:
Today we are alive!

Come out…

Come out now
Call out now
Don’t wait for a new dawn
Come out now
Call out now
This is the best time

For us!

Come out…

The second verse speaks to doubts and caution holding us back, but we can overcome them by taking a breath and realizing that we are alive right now.

Overall, the song is about seizing the moment and not waiting for the perfect time or circumstance to start living. It emphasizes the importance of taking a chance and living fully in the present. The repetition of the chorus with the call to "Come out now" and "Call out now" creates a sense of urgency and motivates the listener to act.
