There will come a time
When the grapes don't make the wine
When the man don't hunt the mine
And the sun don't even shine.
But up until that day comes
Up until it's all done
I was here. I was here.
"Here" is how it feels
When you pull to the side
Of the road and you write
A little song and it goes like
Oo la la la la la la la la la
There will fall a night
When the guns aren't there to fight
When the votes don't make it right
And the flags are crumpled tight
But up until that shit is real
And the world has lost the deal
I was here. I was here.
I'm writing all over the walls
"I was here."
"Here" is how it feels
When you pull to the side
Of the road and you write
A little song and it goes like
Oo la la la la la la la la la
Oo la la la la la la la la la
Up will come a day
When it's raining in May
When our love, it cannot lay
Like we used to in the shade
But up until that love is lost
And the hearts are paying cost
I was here. I was here.
I'm writing all over the walls
"I was here."
Now "Here" is how it feels
When you pull to the side
Of the road and you write
A little song and it goes like
Oo la la la la la la la la la
Oo la la la la la la la la la
Oo la la la la la la la la la
Oo la la la la la la la la la
