This is a beautiful song, especially with the instrumentals. It's obvious what the song is about, and for me it has a lot of meaning. I just think that certain people are called to be at certain places in the world. They know it, and with it they just go, follow after whatever it is that takes them to their sense of purpose, their dreams...whether it's a career, a lifestyle, or a person. It defines who they are, because it becomes their home. The ending talks about walking together and then walking alone, and I think it's just a reflection of life's journey. There are seasons when you are meant to stay where you are, stay in a friend or lover's life, and then there are seasons where it is time to move forward, to a new place, a new start. Leave behind the things that once were and journey towards the unknown (thats the part we walk alone to because that is the individual closing and beginning chapters in their own lives). Walking towards the unknown alone, are made up of moments of loneliness, scaredness, anxiousness, excitment, and eventual peace. A peace that you are making the right decision somehow, despite not knowing where your journey ends and how you will get there. Life starts with that, and people who are willing to risk the unknown, can know how far it is they can go. Two people who have been in my life have taken this journey, and I can honestly say they are where they are supposed to be, and I couldn't be happier for them. I enjoyed the times we walked together...but now it is time to walk alone. |
