Greetings family, this is a very special song for me and one I wrote for my daughter whilst I was in England during lockdown and couldn’t get back to Portugal to see my daughter for her birthday. After feeling a range of emotions I surrendered and picked up my guitar and started to sing “I’m on my way”.
The song is an expression of hope in times of hardship. It was my way of remaining open to life in this challenging moment and staying positive knowing that I would get back to her in the perfect time.
This is my favourite song on the album because it feels like the most uplifting and celebratory song despite the situation it came from.
My guru said “the problem is never the situation but our attitude towards it.”
Ultimately we all face difficult situations in life but we can change them by realising that life isn’t against us but for us and we can grow in humility, compassion and love through it all.
I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did making it and singing it. One love
x Sam
LYRICS:
Oh when you're feeling down
Just know that there is healing
Oh when you want to frown
Just know that I’ll be feeling
Oh what is lost it must be found (hmm)
Just seek the courage to believe it
When your feet come touch the ground
Just know that I will be there
You know I’m on my way (on my way)
Just know I’m on my way (on my way)
You know I’m on my way (on my way)
Just know I’m on my way (on my way)
Ohh I’m on my way, yeah (on my way)
Know I’m on my way (on my way)
You know I’m on my way, yeah (on my way)
Just know I’m on my way
And oh I know these times are strange
But it’ll all be okay
And it’s hard the things we have to face
But everything must have its place
And when it’s over we shall play
Oh, daddy’s gonna help you paint
Don’t let them make you lose your way
Love is what is great
Oh seek and find and celebrate
This life is yours to make
Be kind to all and give don’t take, oh
You’ll get it all anyway
You know I’m on my way (on my way)
Jah knows I’m on my way (on my way)
You know I’m on my way, yeah (on my way)
Know I’m on my way (on my way)
Yeah, I’m on my way, yeah (on my way)
Jah knows I’m on my way (on my way)
You know I’m on my way, yeah (on my way)
Lord I’m on my way, yeah
(Ooohhh) Whoa Maya Maya I can’t say
But if I could you know I’d tell you straight
Sometimes it hurts and it gets hard to take
But Jah Jah knows it’s gonna be okay
Oh Life will guide us and we’ll find a way
Fill up on courage and I’ll give you strength
It’s more than words could ever come convey
So please be strong because I’m on, im I’m on my way
Yeah, I’m on my way (on my way)
You know I’m on my way, yeah (on my way)
Lord I’m on my way (on my way)
Yeah, I’m on my way (on my way)
Jah knows I’m on my way (on my way)
You know I’m on my way, yeah (on my way)
Know I’m on my.. Yeah eh
Yeah I’m on my way
Lord knows I’m on my way
I’m on my way, yeah
Know I’m on my way
