This song speaks to the steadfast presence and unfailing love of God, even in the most challenging times of life. The imagery of walking 'through the valley of the shadow of death' refers to facing profound fear and danger, yet finding comfort in God's 'perfect love' that dispels fear. The repetition of 'You never let go' throughout the song emphasizes the assurance of God's constant presence, support, and guidance through all of life's ups and downs — be it calm or storm, highs or lows.
This song delves into the themes of sacrifice, resilience, and the essence of true heroism. It questions the listener's willingness to make significant sacrifices for the benefit of others, even strangers, and to act selflessly without seeking recognition or reward. The lyrics challenge the notion of what it means to be a legend or a hero, suggesting that true greatness lies in the ability to give more than you take, to persist through adversity without the need for external validation, and to maintain integrity and strength in the face of life's challenges.
The refrain 'We say goodbye, but never let go' reflects the enduring impact of actions and decisions made in the pursuit of righteousness, implying that while we may have to part with things, people, or ideals, the essence of our choices stays with us. The song acknowledges the inevitability of loss ('We live we die, cuz you can't save every soul') but emphasizes the importance of seizing every opportunity to demonstrate courage and steadfastness.
'Could you risk everything, for the chance of being alone? Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone?' These lines speak to the courage required to risk it all for what one believes in, even when it means facing isolation or failure. They suggest that the true measure of a person's character is found in their ability to remain composed and graceful under pressure.
Ultimately, the song is an ode to the unsung heroes who 'never look back, never look down, and never let go,' highlighting that heroism isn't about the glory or fame but about the unwavering commitment to do what's right, to stand firm in the face of adversity, and to hold on to one's principles no matter the cost. It's a call to embrace the chances to show kindness, strength, and integrity in every aspect of life.
Can you lay your life down so a stranger can live? Can you take what you need but take less than you give? Can you close every day without the glory and fame? Could you hold your head high when no one knows your name? That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say. We say goodbye, but never let go We live we die, cuz you can't save every soul. Gotta take every chance to show that you're the kinda man who Will never look back, never look down, and never let go Can you lose everything you ever had planned? Can you sit down again, and play another hand? Could you risk every thing, for the chance of being alone? Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone. That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say. We say goodbye, but never let go We live we die, cuz you can't save every soul. Gotta take every chance to show that you're the kinda man who Will never look back, never look down, and never let go Never let gooooooooooooooo Never let gooooooooooooooo Never let gooooooooooooooo Gotta take every chance to show that you're the kinda man who Will never look back, never look down, and never let go We say goodbye, but never let go We live we die, cuz you can't save every soul. Gotta take every chance to show that you're the kinda man who Will never look back, never look down, and never let go Will never look back, never look down and never let go Never let gooooooooooooooo
