Now You're Here

Thinking back without regret

The decisions made as we try to forget

The pain and the hurt that continues to seep in

This is not a race to gain and win


Memories fade and scars remain

What is left, what are you trying to gain

Everyone has lost at such a cost

Time moves on and now you're here


Now you're here to brighten my day

Now you're here as you erase the pain

Now you're here and it's such a great thing

Now you're here and I can once again hear you sing


The past is done but the future is now

Why dwell on those who don't care how

The future is bright when yesterday was grim

Take a hold of the light and feel the love begin
