Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
The road is long, there are mountains in your way But we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
We know, up where the clear wind blow
Some hang on to used to be
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find
The road is long, there are mountains in our way,
But we climb them a step ev'ry day
Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong, far from the world
We know, up where the clear winds blow
Time goes by, no time to cry, life's you and I
A live today
Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong, far from the world
We know, where the clear winds blow
"Up Where We Belong" is a song performed by Bebe and Cece Winans, it is a powerful love song that speaks about the road of life, its many struggles and hardships as well as its rewards. The song highlights the importance of love and how it can lift you up and help you overcome life's obstacles. The opening lines "Who knows what tomorrow brings, in a world, few hearts survive" speaks to the unpredictability of the future, the world can be tough and the future uncertain, but the way we feel and handle it can have a profound effect on our lives, those around us and our relationship.
The second verse goes on to say “Some hang on to used-to-be, live their lives, looking behind but all we have is here and now, all our life, out there to find”. This verse speaks to two types of people, those who live in the past or hang to the past and those who live for the present and future. The important thing is to focus on what is in front of you, while the road may be long, and there may be mountains to climb, the journey is worth the reward. The chasing after dreams and goals that may take time but will be worth it in the end, and love is what makes the journey worthwhile.
The chorus repeatedly sings, “Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry, On a mountain high. Love lift us up where we belong, far from the world, we know, up where the clear winds blow”. These lines in the chorus are a metaphor for love being a force that can lift us up from the world, far from all the troubles and hardships to a place of peace, clarity, and happiness. Life goes by quickly, and it is important to embrace every moment, to live for today, and not wait until tomorrow, and love is the key to making that happen.
