You’ve Always Been Here

[Intro] (Gentle guitar and soft whistle, 4 bars) [Verse 1] You ask me where the answer lies Not in thick books Not under beards Not in anyone’s big lectures [Verse 2] It’s in the afternoon you watch the clouds In the morning when you ask “what flower is this” In someone who shows you the way when you’re lost In every moment that you just drift away [Chorus] You don’t need to study, don’t need to rush You’ve always been here, right here Loved a dewdrop, loved an old map That’s it, nothing more [Verse 3] It makes you stop for the sunset Feel warm at the word “home” Slow down your hurried steps For a stranger’s gentle glance [Chorus] You don’t need to study, don’t need to rush You’ve always been here, right here Loved someone’s silence And another’s laugh That’s it, nothing more [Bridge] Evening breeze blows between you and a friend It softly says: You being here is the answer [Chorus – Build] You don’t need to study, don’t need to rush You’ve always been here, right here Loved a dewdrop, loved an old map Loved silence, loved a laugh That’s it, nothing more You being here is the answer [Outro] (Softly, voice and guitar fade) You’ve always been here… That’s it.
