Lyrics meaning
The song begins by imagining a time when everything seems lost: someone has โhit the ground.โ It then turns toward hope, courage, and a shared sense of strength. The repeated calls to โgoโ make the feeling more energetic, as if the speaker is encouraging a group to move forward together. By the end, fear gives way to confidence and the belief that better days are possible.
Several images express this change. โHit the groundโ suggests failure or a painful setback, while โa change is comingโ and the rising sun suggest a fresh start. Calling the group โthe lion heartโ compares them to lions, a symbol of courage; the โburning lightโ suggests hope or inner strength that cannot easily be extinguished. โWild and freeโ implies living without feeling controlled or held back, though it need not mean literal freedom from rules.
The lyrics can be read as a personal pep talk or as a collective anthem. The line about truth being โengraved inside our soulโ suggests that people already carry a source of guidance within themselves, but what that truth is remains open. The songโs confidence is emphatic, yet it presents hope as an encouragement rather than proof that every problem will disappear.
