Meant to Be is a song about rejecting the idea that life just happens to us. It’s about pushing back against the people who say, That’s just the way it is, as if we have no control over our own fate. With bold lyrics and an intense, defiant energy, this song challenges the idea that destiny is set in stone . . it’s not. We shape it, we fight for it, and we decide what our future looks like.
At its core, Meant to Be is about refusing to settle. It’s for the dreamers, the fighters, and the ones who know that life isn’t about accepting what’s handed to you . . it’s about creating something better. If you want it, go get it.
Back then, the world felt so big and wide
We were fearless, no reason to hide (ohh)
Every day felt like a brand-new start
With nothing to lose and everything in our hearts
Mmm, we thought time would go on forever
Didn’t see it slip, but now I remember
How the sun hit our faces and the wind in our hair
The world was waiting, and we didn’t care
I wish I knew (ooh) back then, when we were so free
The good old days (oh-oh) right in front of me
We were chasing dreams, didn’t know they’d pass
Living in the moment, running so fast
Now I look back, and it’s all so clear
Those were the days when we had no fear
Ooooh, we were young, and the road stretched far
Mmm, didn’t need a map, just followed the stars
We held the world in our hands so tight
The good old days, when it all felt riiight
We didn’t know we were writing our story
Every sunset felt like a piece of glory
The future seemed like it would always wait
But now I see, we were shaping our fate
Mmm, if I could freeze a moment in time
It’d be those days, so bright, so prime
But life keeps moving, doesn’t stay the same
We were kings and queens without a name
I wish I knew (ooh) back then, when we were so free
The good old days (oh-oh) right in front of me
We were chasing dreams, didn’t know they’d pass
Living in the moment, running so fast
Now I look back, and it’s all so clear
Those were the days when we had no fear
Ooooh, we were young, and the road stretched far
Mmm, didn’t need a map, just followed the stars
We held the world in our hands so tight
The good old days, when it all felt right
Ooooh, now I see it all from where I stand
Mmm, we had the world in the palm of our hand
Didn’t know then, but those times won’t fade
The good old days, when we had it made
