My Heart Will Go On
The Church-Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am I without my name?
How do I stop this emptiness from growing?
The dumb instructions coming from my brain
I go to my heart on my knees
Begging "Take me darling please"
I will follow you
I've been gone for years, I know
But I am back for good to show
That I will never stray from you like that again
What do I do when my body lets me down?
Who am I without dark hair and a pair of working hands?
How do I stop this outro that I'm heading for?
Where do I turn when I can't take it anymore?
I go to my heart on my knees
Begging "Take me darling please"
I will follow you
I promise I have changed
I've been gone for years, I know
But I am back for good to show
That I will never stray from you like that again
No, I will never stray from you like that again
The lyrics to The Church-Brothers' song "My Heart Will Go On" delve into themes of self-identity, emptiness, and redemption. The first stanza reflects a sense of personal insignificance and a struggle with identity. The singer questions what they gain when they realize they are nothing and ponders who they are without their name. This existential crisis contributes to a growing emptiness that they seek to overcome. The following line, "The dumb instructions coming from my brain," points to the confusion and lack of clarity they experience as they try to find a solution.
In the second stanza, the focus shifts to physical limitations and insecurity. The singer wonders what to do when their body fails them and questions their identity without certain physical attributes. They also contemplate how to avoid an imminent decline or "outro" in their life. The line "Where do I turn when I can't take it anymore?" underlines the desperation and hopelessness they feel.
In the chorus, the singer turns to their heart for guidance and solace. They humbly plead to their heart, personifying it as a beloved, to save them. They express a willingness to follow and an assurance that they have changed. The singer acknowledges their absence and mistakes, but declares their commitment to never stray again.
Overall, the lyrics convey a deep yearning for meaning and a search for redemption from personal struggles. The singer seeks refuge in their heart, recognizing that it holds the key to their identity and salvation. The song captures the universal human desire to find purpose and restore oneself after going astray.

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I'd hold to
In my life, we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on (why does the heart go on?)
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Мое сердце будет продолжать путь
Каждую ночь в своих снах
Я вижу тебя, я чувствую тебя
Так я знаю, что ты будешь продолжать путь
Далеко через расстояние
И пространства между нами
Ты пришёл , показать, что ты продолжаешь путь
Близко, далеко, где бы ты ни был
Я верю, что сердце продолжает путь
Еще раз ты открыл дверь
И ты здесь в моем сердце
И мое сердце будет продолжать путь
Любовь может дотронуться до нас только раз
И длиться всю жизнь
И никогда не уходить, пока мы живы.
Любовь была, когда я любила тебя
Один правдивый день, когда я держалась
В моей жизни мы всегда будем продолжать путь
Близко, далеко, где бы ты ни был
Я верю, что сердце продолжает путь
Еще раз ты открыл дверь
И ты здесь в моем сердце
И мое сердце будет продолжать путь
Ты здесь, мне нечего бояться
И я знаю, что мое сердце будет продолжать путь
Мы навсегда останемся такими
Ты в безопасности в моем сердце
И мое сердце будет продолжать путь.

Lovely! I lost a child in 97 and played this song to connect with my child in the early 2000s. I grieved and nobody understood when I couldn't conceive. Only when going to church, I could connect with my parents and loved ones in meditation and spiritual messages. The only person that didn't judge was my friend Jenny. We understand the spiritual connection. We were Christian spiritualists.

There is not a single hate comment in the section on any of the Gregorian videos, because people who listen to Gregorian are uncappable of hating. There is something about the music also. So soothing.
@laura2372
Old souls prefer this genre of music because we (old souls) have been reincarnated may times and come from through the centuries and experienced many aspects of the human condition. This type of music reminds of us of lifetimes previously lived. This music has a certain maturity and ancient "feel" to it. Like meeting your soulmate that you've known through many incarnations--our hearts go on...and on.
@laura2372
This type of music brings forth a more mature and worldly soul. Heavenly music should have soothing effects not negativity. blessings all.
@danielperdigones2185
@@laura2372 Even if reincarnation exists... how can you know you are reincarnated? Reincarnation means your soul not longer exists in your actual body, but in another body, and surely in another time and maybe in other spaces. Can you say the many times your soul lived other lifes? I will say not.
