Lauren Daigle's song "Valuable" reflects on the deep influence of a loved one, likely a parent, in shaping her identity and character. The lyrics express gratitude for inherited traits, both joyful and sorrowful, and acknowledge how this person's love and example live on in her. It's a heartfelt tribute that celebrates connection and legacy, with an undercurrent of faith in the value of every person. The song's message aligns with Christian themes of love, worth, and thankfulness, though it is more personal than explicitly worshipful.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When your heart's all tangled up and your mind is driftin' on
And you wonder if I've forgot who I am and who I'm not
There's no way to lose the feelin' like there with you
'Cause I've been carryin' it with me all my life
I got lots from the laughs late at night
I get blue from the worry in your eyes
I have tears for the sorrow you've lived
I tried to love the way you do
Oh, everybody thinks it's me
But I inherited from you, yeah
I stop and talk to strangers to hear what you would say
Turn the corner down on pages so I'd never lose my place
A million things I'd do because of you
Oh, I got lots from the laughs late at night
I get blue from the worry in your eyes
Oh, I have tears for the sorrow you've lived
I tried to love the way you do
Oh, everybody thinks it's me
But I inherited from you, yeah
If someone would have told me
That I would've known me
Whenever I look at you
Oh, I got lots from the laughs late at night
I get blue from the worry in your eyes
Oh, I have tears for the sorrow you've lived
I tried to love the way you do
Oh, everybody thinks it's me, yeah
Oh, everybody thinks it's me, oh-oh
But I inherited from you, ooh-yeah
All from you, yeah
