Here we stand, in the middle of the desert. As far as I can see – nothing but sand. I take a breath, lift my feet, one after the other, one last look behind and the journey begins. I‘m on my way, on my way.
„On My Way“ is about trust. Trust in yourself, trust in your way. Even if that way doesn‘t lead you to the tip of the mountain. Becoming who we are is the tip of the mountain.
Alongside Hip-Hop and Soul „On My Way“ has an oriental vibe insipired by EVÎN's kurdish roots and a trip to the Moroccan desert.
With its impulsive 808 sound, powerful chords, soulful voice and meaningful lyrics the song has become a hymn of empowerment, self-love and courage.
lyrics
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my mind
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my mind
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my
I woke up
It was dark
I could not move
Still I hoped
And I prayed
What could I do?
If they ask, if they ask
Something has changed
I got the signs
You might never catch me, catch me
That‘s the way it is
If you think that I go wrong
You better think again
‘Cause I feel like I was just born
It‘s a new day
And the darkness that I once met
Seems to fade away
Now I‘m not ashamed of
Who I am or what I do
And when they ask me for my name
I will tell the truth
All the time
I did lie to myself
Though I didnt‘t want to
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my mind
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my mind
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my
A long walk in the desert
Trying to run on sand
My kingdom once broke
But I‘ll let it rise again
Let the Gods decide
The scene has changed
If you don‘t run fast
You will never see me again
You will never feel it again
You will never take it again
You will never hold it again
The treasure lays deep within
I‘ve been trying to tell
I‘ve been trying to say that
I see something coming
And there‘s noway to escape it
Now I‘m not afraid of
Who I am or what I do
And when they ask me for my name I will tell the truth
All the time
I did lie to myself
Though I didnt‘t want to
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my mind
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my mind
I‘m on my way, on my way
Nothing in my hands but trust in my
Nothing in my way that could stop me
Nothing you could do that would break me
