You Are Here

You wonder why you wonder when

You wonder how now and then

How you became who you’ve become

You are here

And yet you dream of being there

Of being where you think the good life has begun

Every darkened hallway

Every fallen dream

Every battle lost and

Every shadow in between

Will bring you to your knees and

Closer to the reason

And there’s no making cases

For getting out or trading places

And there’s no turning back

No you are here

Who can say who made the choice

In the matter of your birth

Who brought about that fateful day

Well you are here and born with fire and desire

You’re the only one can stand in your own way

And every broken arrow

Every hardened smile

Every foolish gamble and

Every lonely mile

Will bring you to your knees and

Closer to the reason

And there’s no making cases

For getting out or trading places

And there’s no turning back

No you are here

And every sign of love

Every seed that’s growing

Every sweet surrender

To that silent knowing

Will bring you to your knees and

Closer to the reason

And there’s no making cases

For getting out or trading places

And there’s no turning back

No you are here
