Song Meaning of “If There Wasn’t Something There” by Bobby Womack
This song speaks of a person reflecting on the events of their life and the realization that if it weren’t for all the times they were there for someone else, that they would have never experienced warmth and love in return. The lyrics suggest that these times of sacrifice were essential in developing a bond between the speaker and the one they care for, and to have been able to appreciate as if it were being discovered anew. The pain of the past is being embraced as there is a newfound appreciation of the strength and tenderness that has arisen as a result of supporting one another through tough times. The message is that no matter how dark the days may be, if there is an innocence that asks for help, then it’s worth leaving our own comfort zone to answer the call. Through making that brave decision to provide love and support, a new chapter of life with a special someone may begin.
