“Mijn Woord” is a heartfelt Dutch ballad where the singer faces the bittersweet moment of letting a loved one step into a new chapter of life. He feels the clock ticking, treasures every remaining second, and offers his blessing and solemn promise (“mijn woord”) before the farewell. Even while pain and denial linger, he shows selfless love: if this journey brings them peace, he will not hold them back.
At its core, the song balances sorrow with hope. The narrator imagines a future when they will be reunited, and this vision fuels his strength to say goodbye today. Listeners are drawn into themes of parting, trust, and unwavering support. It is a powerful reminder that true love sometimes means letting go, yet believing the bond will remain unbroken until they meet again.
