The Wailin' Jennys - You Are Here Lyrics
You wonder why you wonder when, You wonder how now and then, How you became who you've becomeYou are here, And yet you dream of being there, Of being where you think the good life has begunEvery darkened hallway, Every fallen dream, Every battle lost and Every shadow in betweenWill bring you to your knees and Closer to the reasonAnd there's no making cases, For getting out or trading placesAnd there's no turning back, No you are hereWho can say who made the choice, In the matter of your birthWho brought about that fateful day, Well you are here and born with fire and desireYou're the only one can stand in your own wayAnd every broken arrow, Every hardened smileEvery foolish gamble and Every lonely mileWill bring you to your knees and Closer to the reasonAnd there's no making cases For getting out or trading placesAnd there's no turning back No you are hereAnd every sign of love, Every seed that's growingEvery sweet surrender To that silent knowingWill bring you to your knees and Closer to the reasonAnd there's no making cases For getting out or trading placesAnd there's no turning back No you are here...
