Song Meaning of “Distant Hearts Longing (Part 1)” by Steven Cravis
‘Distant Hearts Longing (Part 1)’ by Steven Cravis is a stirring ballad about allowing love to return despite once being separated by an unbridgeable gap – distance. Through haunting lyrics and elegant instrumentals, the song speaks to the power of yearning for a connection across time and space. The first verse establishes the source of the couple’s separation, with the narrator offering “I’ll take my broken pieces and try to mend them here – For I thought I heard a distant heart calling me – Across some lonely sea.
The chorus brings a newfound hope that yearning alone will not be enough; that despite the vast distance between them, love will prevail. “Maybe I’ll find you soon, reaching out across the waves – Until then I’ll keep the longing in my heart, Searching for you so far away.”
The song extends outward with a plea for each person to keep yearning for a future together, no matter the distance. Time is too short to fathom all the distances that keep the two apart, but love can overcome them. The narrator continues, “Until the day our hearts will find the way home – May the winds that whisper carry us across this endless sea – May our distant hearts longing be the means to bring us closer.”
The song concludes with a powerful final chorus, reaffirming the possibility of love despite the great distances between them.
