Headed in the Right Direction
Finding Light and Love: India.Arie's Journey in 'Headed in the Right Direction'
Lyrics
Headed in the right direction
Expressing a positive trajectory in life, moving towards a better path.
I can see the light of day
A metaphorical reference to overcoming challenges and seeing positive outcomes.
I've got love as my connection
Love is portrayed as a guiding force or source of strength.
There's an angel showing me the way
An angelic presence is guiding the singer, symbolizing protection and guidance.
Been reaching for love all my life
Life's journey has involved seeking love, but it has been elusive until now.
I couldn't find it always one step behind it
Struggling to find love, often feeling one step behind in the pursuit.
Now I know it was mine all the time finally I am
Realization that love was always present, and now the singer acknowledges it.
Headed in the right direction
Reiterating the positive direction in life, reinforced by newfound understanding.
I can see the light of day
Continuing the theme of overcoming challenges and seeing positive outcomes.
I've got love as my protection
Love is not only a guiding force but also a source of protection.
There's no need for me to be afraid
Feeling secure and free from fear due to the presence of love.
I spend so much time with my head in the clouds
Reflecting on spending time with impractical thoughts, now grounded in reality.
Now that I've got my feet on the ground
A metaphor for being grounded and practical after being in a dreamlike state.
I found that I am
A realization that the singer is on the right path.
Headed in the right direction
Reiterating the positive trajectory in life.
I can see the light of day
Seeing positive outcomes and brightness in life.
I've got faith and intuition telling me that I will be okay
Having faith and intuition that everything will be fine.
Down the path that I walked there was eyes
Recalling a past journey with observing eyes, indicating self-awareness.
Somebody told me that I look like I'm glowing
Others notice a positive change or aura around the singer.
They just dried all the tears from my eyes now I can see that
Tears have been replaced with clarity and vision.
Headed in the right direction
Reaffirming the positive direction in life.
I can see the light of day
Continuing to see positive outcomes and brightness in life.
Now I've found my pearl of wisdom
Discovering a valuable piece of wisdom or insight.
There's no need for me to be afraid
Feeling secure and free from fear due to newfound wisdom.
Headed in the right direction
Reiterating the positive trajectory with guidance from an angel.
There's an angel showing me the way
Emphasizing the role of an angel in providing direction.
I have found my inspiration
Finding inspiration, indicating personal and creative growth.
Headed in the right direction
Reaffirming the positive direction with a sense of purpose.
