Petra's song 'Where Can I Go' explores the inescapable presence of God's love. The lyrics use vivid imagery of travel—from New York to Mars—to illustrate that no matter where one goes, God is there. The song reflects on the futility of trying to flee from divine love and the eventual surrender to it. It echoes Psalm 139, emphasizing that darkness and light are alike to God. The tone is contemplative and ultimately surrendering, as the singer realizes that God's love is persistent and that giving in is inevitable.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I could take a plane to New York City
I could hitchhike all the way to L.A.
I could follow the sunrise tomorrow
But be as close to You as today
I'm beginning to see what You mean to me
I just can't get away from Your love
[Chorus]
Where Can I go without Your love there to haunt me
I do believe You're playing to win
I can't understand what makes You really want me
But I'm feelin' like it's time to give in
I could climb the golden stairway to heaven
I could catch the crowded highway to hell
If I could find a place nobody has ever been
I bet You'd probably be there as well
I don't know why I've waited so long
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
Darkness is the same as the light to You
Daytime is the same as the night
When You put Your chains of love around my soul
I know it won't be long before I let You take control
I could take a submarine to Atlantis
I could take a flying saucer to Mars
I could ride on the Milky Way someday
But You've already numbered the stars
I'm beginning to hear Your voice is so near
Tellin' me You love me again
[Repeat Chorus]
