What We’re Here For

Here below do lie one of the song lyrics I have made with my own fair hands over this very week of songwriting, friendship, alcohol, and mayem (though not necessarily in that order) at which I am presently in the process of being on. Ahem.

This one is a reflection on watching our parents growing old and changing, and how that is itself a reflection on our own changing and growing old. Deep, man!

What We’re Here For

Today I’m gonna see
Somebody that I’ve never seen before
But I know who you will be
You will be beautiful I’m sure
You’re everything to me
And it really doesn’t matter
What we’re here for

Today I’m gonna hold
The whole world in my hands
It’s never felt so cold
A fear that I don’t understand
You’re everything to me
And it really doesn’t matter
What we’re here for

Now you’re so old
Seen so many strange happenings
Can’t control
Anything that’s happening
Now

Look it’s beautiful
This blood red sky                                 
Pierces my heart to the core
Take my hand
Let’s drink it in
The glory of it all

Today I’m gonna be
Somebody that I’ve never been before
Your touch has set me free
I just want to see more
And though the autumn leaves
Are falling from the tree
You’re everything to me
And it really doesn’t matter
What we’re here for
What we’re here for
What we’re here for
