Here I Go Again
The Brian J. White Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Though I keep searchin' for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm lookin' for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Ooh baby, ooh yeah
And I've made up my mind
Ooh baby, ain't wasting no more time
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known

Dear Lord, I request inner strength to continue my journey

Similar to a wanderer, my destiny is to be solitary
'Cause I know what it means
Because I understand the significance
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
To traverse the solitary path towards my aspirations
Here I go again on my own
Once again, I embark upon this journey alone
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Traveling along the familiar and well-known path
