You Are Here Songtext
von The Wailin’ Jennys

You wonder where, 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

In 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
Trading places
And there′s no
Turning back, no, you are here
No, you are here


You can't say you made the choice
In the matter of your birth
Who brought about that fateful day?
You are here and born with fire
And desire: you're the only one who stand in your own way

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

And there′s no
Making cases
For getting out
Trading places
And there′s no
Turning back, no, you are here
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
Trading places
And there's no
Turning back, no, you are here
No, you are here
