The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Tonight" by the artist "TobyMac"

In the song "Tonight," TobyMac conveys a sense of longing for change, for something more than the current routine. The lyrical hero is tired of the endless cycle of "one step forward, two steps back," of his doubts and falls. He craves renewal, a fresh start, which he feels approaching.

The recurring phrase "There's gotta be more than this" reflects an inner search for meaning and purpose. The night under the stars becomes a symbol of a turning point, when the hero decides to open his heart to change and start living a new life. He believes that this night will be the beginning of something incredible, something that will change everything.

The call "It all starts tonight" is addressed not only to himself, but also to all who share this desire for change. Together, like a river breaking through a dam, they are ready to move towards a new day, full of hope and determination. The song is imbued with optimism and faith that the best is yet to come.

Every time I try to go it alone

I get shut down

Locked up and held captive in the clutches of my doubt

We go back

We go forth

We go back

I'm sick with vertigo

Weary of my ways

My days

My ebbs and flows

So

I wanna feel a new day

(There's gotta be more than this)

I wanna live a new way

(There's gotta be more)

I wanna feel a new day

(There's gotta be more than this)

I wanna live a new way

(There's just gotta be more)

Right here, right now

Under the stars

I promise you my heart

‘Cause it starts tonight

We wanna rise

We wanna touch the other side

(It starts tonight)

We wanna soar

We wanna reach right out for more

(‘Cause it starts tonight)

Tonight

Can't feel like any night before

Under a sky full of stars

With hearts that want more

(Tonight)

Like a river no dam can hold

Being driven by a source overflowing our souls

(Tonight)

Won't be like any night we've seen

It changes everything

Everything

So let us seize this night

Let us make our play

It's on like the break of dawn

Come what may

Tonight

I wanna feel a new day

I wanna live a new way

We want more tonight

We want you tonight

Tonight
