You are Here 03:54
1. Yeah, your life’s been hard Like cobblestone, like gravel Under darkening skies Endless treacherous travel 2. The news is bad I won’t lie, ignore or spin The raven’s wings are spread in flight Soon, she’ll close them in (Chorus) So inhale the air Breathe in your own glorious time There is no future and no past No sense, no rhyme 3. So, your time is short There’s no recourse or way to appeal And no chance to fold these cards For a better deal (Chorus) So inhale the air Breathe in your own glorious time There is no future and no past No sense, no rhyme And, I’ll tell you now And I’ll tell you plain, and slow, and clear You are alive and loved and real And you are here 4. They say life’s a gift And a treasure, yeah, it’s true But yours arrived beyond repair No one to complain to 5. So, complain to me Tell me all the scenes you saw Talk of shoes and ships and sealing wax Or nothing at all
2.
They couldn't shelter you, but they wanted to. Wanted to make it alright, when they said good night. But there are lies, and tears in your eyes. You might make it through, but you'd be a different you. You have a life to live, and a love to give Times to know who you are, and times you won't get that far. A boy to kiss, a man to miss You might make it through, but you'd be a different you. One day as the sun breaks, in your bed you lie awake. thinking about what it all means, to always be in between Going from here to there, never getting anywhere. You have made it through, the trials and the betrayals. You'll do what you must do, but you'll be a different you.
