On My Way
Voice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I look through this window
And the smell of rain fills the sky
Seems that the time stands still
And just for a moment
The world turns around me
Now it's still time to let go
Set myself free
To come to a higher plain
I feel I can fly
That's not the end
I leave all doubts behind
I'm on my way
To a new time
All my fears fade awy
I see a wide, open sky
It's getting darker and darker
I've got just one more question
Will I get higher or is it almost the same
At the darkest point
I still hope for redemption
As that blinding light came
Now I know I'm gone
There is so much to learn, much to learn
And again I'm free
Will come to a higher plain
I feel I can fly
That's not the end
I leave all doubts behind
I'm on my way
To a new time
All my fears fade away
I see a wide, open sky
I feel I can fly
That's not the end
I leave all doubts behind
I'm on my way
To a new time
All my fears fade away
I feel I can fly
That's not the end
I leave all doubts behind
I'm on my way
To a new time
All my fears fade away
I see a wide, open sky
The song "On My Way" by Voice talks about liberation, personal growth, and the possibility of making a change. In the first verse, the singer is looking through a window on a rainy night and feels time standing still. This creates a moment of introspection, and the singer decides it's time to let go of everything they've known and set themselves free to find a higher purpose. The feeling of freedom is so strong that the singer believes they can fly and leave all doubts behind. The chorus repeats this sentiment, highlighting that the fears and doubts that once held them back are now fading away and allowing them to see a wide and open sky.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that the journey won't be easy. They reach a point of darkness where they question whether they'll be able to rise higher or if they're stuck in the same place. However, they still hold onto hope and see a blinding light that reminds them that redemption is possible. Despite knowing that they still have much to learn, they're free once again and ready to come to a higher plain.
The overall message of the song is one of optimism and perseverance. The singer knows that the journey won't be easy, but they're willing to try because they believe that they can make a change. They're leaving everything behind and setting themselves free to find a higher purpose. The imagery of the wide and open sky emphasizes the limitless potential that lies ahead.

A well deserved golden buzzer, no sob story, no one needing the money, just a damn talented and charismatic man getting the recognition he deserves.

@deslow7411
He did have a sob story (2:36) though, but he kept it short and didn't continue like so many do. Respect for that.
