The O.C. Supertones - Hey Hey Hey Lyrics
Lyrics
I feel so high and I want to tell the world why
until the glory of the Lord goes world wide
and every person on the earth opens their eyes wide
and hymns ring from every valley plain and hillside
I'm alive I'm alive you know that I'm set free
and my eyes get clearer every day
I was blind I was blind I was blind but now I see
and when my heart is gripped with fear
he says son why don't you look up here
when I hear those words well I feel scared to death
short of breath but it makes me want to say
enough about me I wanna know how you're doin now
are there some tough times you're goin through now
been where you are and I want you to know
there's a love that won't let you go
that neither life, nor death, nor height, nor depth, no angel, no man,
can take you from His hand

Hey Hey Hey
Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2012 as part of the album *For the Glory*, "Hey Hey Hey" by The O.C. Supertones is a powerful declaration of newfound freedom and an earnest invitation to share that hope. The song's core message resonates deeply with the transformative power of faith, painting a vivid picture of liberation from spiritual blindness and the overwhelming joy that follows. The opening lines immediately convey a sense of elation, a feeling so profound it compels the speaker to broadcast it to the world, envisioning a global awakening to divine glory. This aspiration aligns with prophetic visions of God's dominion being recognized across the earth, such as the promise in Isaiah 11:9 that "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." The speaker’s personal testimony of being “set free” and experiencing clearer vision echoes the experience of those encountering Christ, as described in John 9:25 where the formerly blind man simply states, "One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see." This transformation is not merely intellectual but profoundly experiential, bringing an unparalleled sense of aliveness.
However, the song doesn't dwell solely on personal triumph. A significant and beautiful turn occurs as the focus shifts outward, an intentional move away from self to extend compassion and encouragement to others. This pivot from "enough about me" to "how you're doin now" is central to the song's Christian ethos, reflecting Christ's command to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:31). The speaker acknowledges that everyone faces struggles, and it is precisely within these difficult moments that the unwavering nature of God's love is most powerfully conveyed. The assurance that "neither life, nor death, nor height, nor depth, no angel, no man" can separate us from God's hand is a direct echo of Romans 8:38-39, a foundational passage for believers. This steadfast love, unassailable by any earthly or spiritual force, provides a secure anchor in the storms of life, offering solace and a profound sense of belonging. The song, therefore, serves as an anthem of redeemed joy and a compassionate outreach, encouraging listeners to look beyond their own troubles and recognize the enduring love available to them.
