Great Divide
The McClain Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I never guessed how close you were to me
And now I wanna throw my arms around you
Tell a thousand tales that will astound you
Everything about you tells me this was meant to be, don't you see
I'm on your side
Let's take this ride
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide anymore
I can't recall what life was like without you
Now it feels as though we've never been apart
Tell me every tiny thing about you
Anything you'll say I'll never doubt you
We're meant to be together I can feel it in my heart
It's just the start
I'm on your side
Let's take this ride
And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide
And if you'll be there beside me when I falter
(You'll be there beside me when I falter)
Then whatever comes I know we'll take it all in stride
(Take it all in stride)
I'm on your side
The great divide
Doesn't seem so wide
I'm on your side
Let's take this ride
And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide anymore
The Great Divide by The McClain Sisters is a song about two people who were meant to be together and never knew they were separated until they found each other. The song begins with the singer realizing that they had lost their lover, but never realized how close they were to them. The singer wants to embrace their lover and share with them all the tales and stories that they have learned without them. This reunion brings the couple close again, and they realize that the great divide between them doesn't seem so wide anymore. The Great Divide also highlights their determination to face the world together and do things that nobody has done before.
The chorus emphasizes the unbreakable bond and the trust that the couple shares. The past is now a blur for them as they are focusing on the future together. They're willing to take on anything as long as they're together, and they know they can face any obstacle together. With their love, they can cover any distance, no matter how great the divide between them may seem. To them, the world is theirs for the taking.

I never knew I lost you till I found you
I didn't realize how much I missed you until we were reunited
And I never guessed how close you were to me
I had no idea how near you were to me
And now I wanna throw my arms around you
I want to embrace you tightly
Tell a thousand tales that will astound you
I want to share so many amazing stories with you that will surprise you
Everything about you tells me this was meant to be, don't you see
Every aspect of you makes me believe that we are destined to be together, can't you perceive that?
I'm on your side
I support you and have your back
Let's take this ride
Let's embark on this journey together
And together we're facing the world
As a team, we confront the challenges of the world
Doing things nobody's done before
We're doing things that have never been done
And the great divide
The significant separation between us
Doesn't seem so wide anymore
It feels like the gap between us has narrowed significantly
I can't recall what life was like without you
I cannot remember what my life was like before you
Now it feels as though we've never been apart
Now it seems as though we've always been together
Tell me every tiny thing about you
Share every minute detail about yourself with me
Anything you'll say I'll never doubt you
I'll always take your word for it and trust you completely
We're meant to be together I can feel it in my heart
I sense that we're meant to be together in my heart
It's just the start
This is just the beginning for us
And if you'll be there beside me when I falter
If you're there to support me when I'm struggling
(You'll be there beside me when I falter)
(You'll stick by my side even in my weakest moments)
Then whatever comes I know we'll take it all in stride
I'm confident that we'll handle any obstacles that come our way with ease
(Take it all in stride)
(We'll face any challenge with composure)
The great divide
The significant separation between us
Doesn't seem so wide
It feels like the gap between us has narrowed significantly
I'm on your side
I support you and have your back
Let's take this ride
Let's embark on this journey together
And together we're facing the world
As a team, we confront the challenges of the world
Doing things nobody's done before
We're doing things that have never been done
And the great divide
The significant separation between us
Doesn't seem so wide anymore
It feels like the gap between us has narrowed significantly
