This Is Where We Are - Priscilla Ahn

«Being good every day

Is never easy,"they always say

But who are they?

And what do we care

What anyone says is normal fare?

Now this is where we are, so what do we do?

Say a little prayer for me and for you

Hold my hand through dark, black night

Tell me everything will be alright

Be alright,

Stop the car, get out with me Let’s settle down here beneath this tree

Kick off our shoes, cool off our feet

March down to our very own two drum beat

Now this is where we are, so who will we be?

An old married couple beneath this tree

Who still hold hands at 92

And say things like, «I've never stopped loving you,

Loving you,»

Let’s build a house where we can play

A home where all the kids can stay

Where all the good, and all the bad

Can show us who we are at last

So this is what we are, what do we see?

Everything we can and want to be So many places that we will go To fall, to cry

And always love,
