There was a time
I used to look into my father's eyes.
In a happy home
I was a king, I had a golden throne.
Those days are gone,
Now the memory's on the wall.
I hear the songs
From the places where I was born.
Upon a hill across a blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak.
I still remember how it all changed.
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!
There was a time
I met a girl of a different kind.
We ruled the world,
I thought I'd never lose her out of sight.
We were so young,
I think of her now and then.
I still hear the songs
Reminding me of a friend.
Upon a hill across a blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak.
I still remember how it all changed.
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!
See heaven's got a plan for you
[Live version repetitions:]
See heaven's got a plan for you
See heaven's got a plan for you
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! [3x]
Yeah!
MEANING OF SONG
I think the beginning is about how simple and good childhood can be. I think that "now the memories are on the wall" means that his father is dead and his child home is gone. Memories on the wall could be pictures.
I also think It's about how life changes when you fall in love for the first time and looses the girl. Then life becomes serious compared to the simple childhood.
His father said "don't you worry child, see heaven's got a plan for you." This makes me feel good. It makes me picture a wise old man who loves his son and want him to just accept life as it is.
I think this song could also tell about Jesus Christ.
Give it a thought, pretty obvious actually!
"I was king I had a gold Throne" = Jesus as a baby in a haystack, surrounded by wise men.
"Father" = God
"I hear the songs from the places where I was born" = Jesus hears the talk of God
"Up on the hill" = Crusifiction
