One Song At A Time
Mikey Bustos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They mocked me "Boy, get your head out the clouds"
And they called it just a dream of fools
Some were laughing, others just so cruel.
And they doubted me
expecting my hopes to fade away with time
But inside of me, the choirs of heaven sang to promise me
Just who I was to become
Now I am a witness to the power
Of following the voice inside that cried out loud to listen
And now with the force of a million
I must stick to my word and show the world
What I believed all this time
That I could save the world
one song at a time
I step above the clouds
And this time I live that promise now
With courage and love in every word
It's an answer to dreamers of the world
'Cause every person has a voice of power inside
Speaking truths that they must believe
And when you hear that call and allow it to guide you on
The heavens will be on your side
Now I am a witness to the power
Of following the voice inside that cried out loud to listen
And now with the force of a million
I must stick to my word and show the world
What I believed all this time
That I was born to save the world
one song at a time...

The opening lines show how people try to discourage Mikey Bustos from believing in heroes, and his dreams. He faces mockery and insults from people who don't believe in him. Despite all of that, he continues to hold onto his aspirations, driven by the choirs of heaven. He becomes a witness to the power of the voice inside, and how following that voice can lead us to a better place. He is now committed to serving the world, one song at a time, and nothing can deter him from fulfilling his mission. The song acknowledges that every person has a voice of power within them, and it's up to them to listen to it and allow it to guide them towards their dreams.
