Lyrics
We Got Here
By Mike Green April 2022
This winter’s been the longest one on record, It fell asleep
Decided that it wasn’t gonna end
It got a little spiteful about you and me and everyone
And left us all to fend for ourselves,
So this morning, this morning, we almost missed the light just pouring in
We got here
It took so long, but yeah, we finally got here
It wasn’t looking good, but one more step, and yeah, we finally got here
Childhood was endless, it seemed so long because it was
Adults could do most anything they pleased
The days were filled with wanting, just wanting what we couldn’t have
And mostly we just wished that we could leave
Freedom, freedom, that freedom that was always out of reach
We got here
It took so long, but yeah, we finally got here
It wasn’t looking good, but one more step, and yeah, we finally got here
You and me, we fought like hell, but quietly so you couldn’t tell
That anything was messed up in our world
Even when the sun was on our faces or on our backs
We couldn’t shake the memory of cold
Was it the chicken or the fresh egg was it the sun, or maybe just some love
Now there’s fire in our bellies we don’t need no more reasons, just because
We got here
It took so long, but yeah, we finally got here
It wasn’t looking good, but one more step, and yeah, we finally got here
It wasn’t looking good, but one more step, and yeah, we finally got here
