We're Here - 01/07/17 10:50 PM
Hello. Haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd throw one out as the year begins! I actually started this in August with the 50/90 Songwriting Challenge, but didn’t get it to a place where I felt I wanted to post it to my list. So, going over it now and wondering how it comes across, etc...
Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

WE’RE HERE
Isn’t it funny
How life turns out
And we still don’t know
What it’s all about
Sometimes we’re good
And our spirit flies
Sometimes we’re bad
And tell some lies ---And trip over lies
[ch]
But we’re here
And we’re trying
Though we bleed
When we’re crying
Yet we love
When we’re daring
And we touch
When we’re sharing
Isn’t it a pity
When life is hard
And our sweat and tears
Don’t go very far
Sometimes we’re ready --Sometimes we're lively
And can hop aboard---- And dare to explore
Sometimes we’re lazy
Yet want much more
[ch]
But we’re here
And we’re trying
Though we bleed
When we’re crying
Yet we love
When we’re daring
And we touch
When we’re sharing
[br]
Oh, we can think too much
And end up with nothing
Years wear us down
But we’ll think of something
[ch]
Cuz we’re here
And we’re trying
Though we bleed
When we’re crying
Yet we love
When we’re daring
And we touch
When we’re sharing
While we’re here
Because we’re here
