Walk On
Embrace the Light in Darkness: A Journey of Strength and Freedom
Lyrics
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
Addressing the potential separation caused by darkness or difficult times.
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
Describing the feeling that better times (daylight) seem distant or far away.
And if your glass heart should crack
Metaphorically referencing a fragile, vulnerable heart.
And for a second you turn back
Momentarily hesitating or reconsidering a decision.
Oh no, be strong
Encouragement to remain resilient and strong despite challenges.
Oh, oh, walk on, walk on
Repeated encouragement to persevere despite difficulties.
What you got they can't steal it
Emphasizing the uniqueness or intrinsic value that cannot be taken away.
No, they can't even feel it
Reinforcing the idea that others cannot comprehend or steal what one possesses.
Walk on, walk on
Continued encouragement to keep moving forward.
Stay safe tonight
Wishing safety and protection for the night.
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
Packing for an unknown or uncharted destination.
A place that has to be believed to be seen
Emphasizing the necessity of believing in something to experience it.
You could have flown away
Choosing not to escape despite having the ability to do so.
A singing bird in an open cage
Metaphorically portraying oneself as a bird confined but striving for freedom.
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
The bird flies solely for the sake of freedom.
Oh, oh, walk on, walk on
Reiteration of encouragement to keep moving forward despite denial or opposition.
What you've got they can't deny it
Highlighting the inability to reject or disprove what one possesses.
Can't sell it, or buy it
Expressing that personal qualities cannot be traded or bought.
Walk on, walk on
Continued encouragement to persevere despite challenges.
Stay safe tonight
Wishing safety and security for the night.
And I know it aches
Acknowledging emotional pain and distress.
And your heart it breaks
Recognizing a heartbreak.
And you can only take so much
Feeling limited in enduring difficulties.
Walk on
Reiterated encouragement to keep moving forward.

You've got to leave it behind
Emphasizing the necessity to move forward without dwelling on the past.
