Worry Walks Beside Me
Embracing Liberation: Confronting Worry and Seeking Freedom in Michael Kiwanuka's Anthem
Lyrics
Worry walks beside me every day
Worry is a constant companion in my daily life.
They say I should run but It's comin my way
Despite advice to escape from worry, it approaches me regardless.
I'll be doin fine if you just leave me behind
I would be fine if worry ceased to accompany me.
Coming all over and under my skin
Worry deeply affects me emotionally and mentally.
Say if I follow I will die like a king
Following worry might lead to a demise, perhaps metaphorically.
I'll be doin fine if you just leave me behind
Expressing that without worry's presence, things would be better.
What will it take to believe I can run
Questioning what it would take to believe in the possibility of escaping worry.
What will it take? When will I be done?
When will the struggle against worry come to an end?
I've been trying
Indicates effort and attempts to overcome worry.
I find him standing here all the time
Constantly encountering worry in one's surroundings.
I find him trying to steal all that's mine
Worry attempting to take away what belongs to the individual.
I'll be doin fine if you just leave me behind
If worry were absent, everything would be fine.
What will it take to believe I can run
Seeking a belief in the ability to escape from worry's grasp.
What will it take? When will I be done?
Questioning when the struggle against worry will conclude.
I've been trying
Continued efforts to combat and overcome worry.
What will it take to be free again
Wondering what it takes to regain freedom from worry's influence.
I wanna leave this behind
Expressing a desire to leave the burden of worry behind.
What will it take just to see again
Questioning what is needed to regain clear sight and understanding.
All this is making me blind
Worry is clouding and obstructing vision and comprehension.
What will it take to believe I can run
Struggling to believe in the possibility of escaping worry.
What will it take? When will I be done?
Questioning when the struggle against worry will end.
I've been trying
Continued effort and perseverance in battling worry.
How does it feel to be flying away
Reflecting on the sensation of freedom away from worry's presence.
How does it feel to believe today
Wondering how it feels to truly believe in a worry-free existence.
I've been trying
Continued efforts and attempts to overcome worry.
Worry walks beside me everyday
Reiteration of the persistent nature of worry in daily life.
