Wherever You Will Go

"Wherever You Will Go" is a song by The Calling released as the first single off their debut album Camino Palmero. The Wherever You Will Go Songfacts explains that it was written by guitarist Aaron Kamin after attending the funeral of his grandmother's best friend. She left behind a husband of 50 or more years and afterwards he started thinking of what it would be like to be him and have your whole life change so dramatically. It still remains their most renowned and their most successful hit, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Adult Top 40 for 23 weeks, setting a record for that chart behind Santana's hit song Smooth.

[Verse 1] So lately, been wondering Who will be there to take my place? When I'm gone, you'll need love To light the shadows on your face [Pre-Chorus 1] If a great wave shall fall And fall upon us all Then between the sand and stone Could you make it on your own? [Chorus] If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go [Verse 2] And maybe I'll find out A way to make it back someday To watch you, to guide you Through the darkest of your days [Pre-Chorus 2] If a great wave shall fall And fall upon us all Then, I hope there's someone out there Who can bring me back to you [Chorus] If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go [Bridge] Run away with my heart Run away with my hope Run away with my love [Breakdown] I know now, just quite how My life and love might still go on In your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of time [Chorus] If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go [Outro] If I could turn back time I'll go wherever you will go If I could make you mine I'll go wherever you will go I'll go wherever you will go
