You Are Here

Do you ever feel a song was written just for you?  This morning it's "You Are Here", off the Wailin Jennys' new album Bright Morning Stars.  Try it.  Love it.  Buy it. [Don't steal it!] :)

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 the fateful day
You are here and born with fire and desire
You’re the only one can stand in your own way 

Every broken arrow, every hardened smile
Every foolish gamble, every lonely mile
Will bring you to your knees and closer to the reason

And every sign of love, every seed thats growing
Every sweet surrender to that silent knowing
Will bring you to your knees and closer to the reason
