All This Time Lyrics

This time yesterday I thought I was gonna die Standing at the edge of my ordinary life Now I'm looking far ahead I only see clear blue skys I hope this feeling lasts me Until the end of time Now I don't see the things that bring me down like I used to (No) And there where times where we felt like giving up but we came through All this time We've come a long, long way I've waited a lifetime for today I'm praying this moments here to stay All this time When everyone else said I was wrong You gave me a reason to be strong You gave me the will to carry on All this time *SECOND VERSE & CHORUS* You kiss my blues away My yesterdays far behind And all these clouds of doubt Have cleared around my mind Now I'm looking far ahead I'm looking with brand new eyes I can't see the future, but I know its looking bright Never thought we could survive what we've come through (No) And there were times we felt like giving up but we held through All this time We've come a long, long way I've waited a lifetime for today I'm praying this moments here to stay All this time When everyone else said I was wrong You gave me a reason to be strong You gave me the will to carry on All this time *END OF SECOND VERSE & CHORUS* It's like a second chance in life So many people passing by And you know, it's a shame Cos they can't believe, so they don't and they won't even try With every battle that's been won, with every little thing I've done What I couldn't see is now clear to me All this time We've come a long, long way I've waited a lifetime for today I'm praying this moments here to stay All this time We've come a long, long way I've waited a lifetime for today I'm praying this moments here to stay All this time When everyone else said I was wrong You gave me a reason to be strong You gave me the will to carry on All this time

Meaning of All This Time

“All This Time” is a profoundly moving ballad about resilience and the transformative power of love after enduring hardship. The lyrics depict a journey from despair – feeling on the brink of death, trapped in an “ordinary life” – to overwhelming hope, symbolized by “clear blue skies.” Michelle McManus’s song speaks of overcoming past struggles, specifically moments where surrender felt inevitable, thanks to unwavering support and belief from a loved one. It's about finding strength when everyone else doubted you and recognizing the clarity that emerges after facing adversity. The repeated refrain, "All this time," emphasizes the long wait for this newfound joy and the incredible distance traveled. Ultimately, it’s a celebration of second chances and a testament to the enduring nature of love as a catalyst for healing and a bright future, urging listeners to hold onto hope even when surrounded by disbelief.
