lyrics

Before We Came Here

before we came here i looked down
above the clouds on this bright town
and i sure wondered how it might be
to skip along so wild and free

before we came here i forgot
the midnight scent of forget me not
and i sure longed to feel the thrill
of that first kiss i remember still

yeah you tried to tell me
about good and bad
but i was still a child of light
in love with all i had

before we came here i hadn’t heard
a concert from the mocking bird
and i believed that kids could fly
like falcons in a golden sky

before we came here i made a wish
to dive so deep like a giant fish
and what i’d find i couldn’t say
those depths would take my breath away

chorus

before we came here i so longed
to fall to earth where i belonged
i couldn’t wait for it to start
so i could know my beating heart

yeah you tried to tell me
about good and bad
but i was still a child of light
in love with all i had
