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
