Here to Stay

Here to Stay

a song for Phil

I saw a ghost…
and I really thought he came for us,
when he walked in
with his saddened smile.
Turns out he was just
passing by,
he took a bow then said goodbye.
It was a briefly terrifying moment
but luckily the sun began to rise.

So let’s wipe away our tears,
we don’t need to be afraid;
The clouds that had built above us
have all faded away.
Come join me outside and take in
the glory of this sunny day;
cuz nothing lasts forever,
and our fight’s not over yet.
There’s more stories to tell.
Our fight’s not over yet.

Could this be right?
Have colours always been so bright?
I can’t really tell,
I was always busy
wondering where I’ve been
or what the future may not bring.
It’s of no use,
I couldn’t see it
until the night
the ghost opened my eyes.

So let’s wipe away the memories,
all expectations and fears.
The clouds that had built around us
have all just disappeared.
Come join me outside and take in
the glory of this sunny day;
we’re not going to live forever,
but our fight’s not over yet.
For now we’re here to stay.
