We're Here Today

By Bruce Clifford

Going forward
Moving back
Drifting onward
Panic attack


Making noises
Senseless divide
Removing choices
Worlds collide


Lifting me up when things are down
Almost giving up from hanging around
Lifting me up and taking me down
When times are rough nobody comes around


Hearing distances
Emotional parades
Past resistances
Promises made


We’re here today
We’re here to stay
We’re here today
We’re here anyway


Going forward
Leaning back
Fleeting emotions
Oceans react


Creating spaces
Reflecting time
Pointless races
Nursery rhyme


Lifting me up when things are down
Almost giving up from hanging around
Lifting me up and taking me down
When times are rough nobody comes around


We’re here today
We’re here to stay
We’re here today
We’re here anyway
