I Never Go Anywhere Alone
Journey Through Life's Uncertainties
Lyrics
I know cause you taught me so
I understand because you taught me so
all those many years ago
Referring to lessons learned many years ago
that life is uncertain
Life is unpredictable and precarious
it's only flesh and bone
Emphasizing the transient nature of human existence
and I will fear no bows and arrows
Not afraid of challenges or obstacles
outrun them till I'm home, yeah
Confident in overcoming difficulties until reaching home
cause I never go anywhere alone
Expressing a refusal to be alone in life's journey
and the last time that I saw you
Recalling the last encounter with the person being addressed
I saw what they had done to you
Witnessing the impact of adversity on the person
you were lying there all broken up
Describing the person as physically broken
you were on your way
Indicating the person's journey toward a destination
don't fear the raging waters
Encouraging resilience in the face of challenges
swim them till you're home, yeah
Swim through difficulties until reaching home
cause you'll never go anywhere alone
Stressing the theme of not facing life's journey alone
and like an old country song
Comparing life to an old country song
where the words just won't leave you alone
Persistent memories or thoughts about a particular place
about going where you're needed most
Emphasizing the importance of being where one is needed
about the green grass of home
Reference to a peaceful and comforting place
and she'll be waiting there
Anticipation of someone's presence at the destination
like a heron flying in the air
Imagery of a heron in flight, possibly symbolizing freedom
with the wind blowing through her hair
Visualizing a person with wind-blown hair, beckoning forward
waving you on
Gesture of encouragement to continue the journey
and I know cause you taught me so
Reiteration of lessons learned in the past
all those many years ago
Reflecting on teachings from years ago
that life is a battle that no one ever wins
Life is a perpetual struggle with no definite victory
but I will fear no tumbling mountains
Facing challenges with courage and determination
I'll duck them till I'm home, yeah
Dodging obstacles until safely reaching home
I'll never go anywhere alone
Commitment to never face life's journey alone
no I'll never go, I'll never go
Emphasizing the refusal to be alone in any circumstance
anywhere, anywhere
alone
Final affirmation of not being alone in any situation
