Lyrics
The question is foundational
For philosophers and fools:
Why are we here, anyway?
The answers are extensive
Because we're apprehensive
But I have found a simple answer, so I say:
We're here for the ones we love
They're all that really matters
To hold close when thunder gathers
And threats come about and above
We're here for the ones we love
We're here for the ones we love
They are the only answer
When the tests come back for cancer
When push it comes to shove
We're here for the ones we love
We're not here to be famous
Fame can never last
Love is the only way to save us
If we hold each other fast
We're here for the ones we love
They are our joys and sadness
Even painful madness
They give hope like Noah's dove
We're here for the ones we love
We're here for the ones we love
