Wherever You Are
The Martins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know it's you that I'm waiting on
And that sweet promise of our first kiss
Keeps me hanging on, through times like this
So wherever you are, I'm thinking of you
I wonder if you're thinking of me, too
There's only so long, time can keep up apart
Keep wishing upon that same ol' star
And know that I love you, wherever you are
Can't say I know what you look like
But you're in my heart, you're on my mind
And I feel your love deep down in my soul
When I finally find you, I'll just know
So wherever you are, I'm thinking of you
I wonder if you're thinking of me, too
There's only so long, time can keep up apart
So until we meet, keep me in your heart
Keep wishing upon that same ol' star
And know that I love you, wherever you are
So until we meet, keep me in your heart
Keep wishing upon that same ol' star
And know that I love you, wherever you are

Are you standing
At a crossroad
Wondering which road you should take
And you're dreading
The decision
And a possible mistake
But the will of God won't lead you
Where the grace of God can't keep you
You will never be out of His care
Remember that the Lord's already there
(chours)
Wherever you are
Wherever you're going
God is right there beside you
Seeing and knowing
Wherever you go
He already knows
What lies ahead and what's behind
You'll always find He's never too far
From wherever you are
You are waiting
To hear thunder
And see lightening in the sky
Oh, but God can
Work His wonders
Through a still small voice inside
Just keep listening and learning
And continue on your journey
Following the One who is the way
He's the only road you need to take

12 years ago, as my god parents prepared to leave our church that they pastored for 16 years our choir sang this song. It brings back many memories of a shattered heart of a 13 year old girl, yet this song now that I'm 24 still blesses me!
