Mary Hopkin：Meaning of With You Or Without You Songmeaning

"With You or Without You" is a song about the speaker's longing for a connection with someone they love. They are tired of feeling lost and alone, and only the other person's presence can bring them comfort. The singer is not a holy man or an angel made of wood, but rather a flawed human who cannot predict the future. The speaker's worship is wordless, like a growing tree, and is not something that can be easily explained or confined. Whether with or without the other person, the speaker is unable to fully answer their questions about love and life. The song suggests that human connection is essential to finding meaning and purpose in life, but also that it can be difficult and elusive.
