(YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE) THE WHOLE TIME
(YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE) THE WHOLE TIME
(T. Beechey)
You see, all my life. I've been on this search
I've been in the gutter and I've been to church
To find me an angel to honor in rhyme
And you've always been here the whole time
I never realized, all I had to do
Was just turn around and my dream would cone true
All the rivers I've crossed and mountains I've climbed
And you've always been here the whole time
You've always been here and I've been a fool, sometimes life's lessons can be very cruel
And, if only I'd taken a moment to learn, maybe I could have rightfully earned
A chance to know what happiness means and I blame myself for not having seen
That you were the bell that created the chime and you've always been here the whole time
I've went back and forth and in circles I've gone
I've followed the sun from dusk until dawn
In the footsteps of my shadow's pantomime
And you've always been here the whole time
I've chased the moon through every phase
Wandered along the trails and highways
With the clothes on my back and not even a dime
And you've always been here the whole time
You've always been here and I've been a fool, sometimes life's lessons can be very cruel
And, if only I'd taken a moment to learn, maybe I could have rightfully earned
A chance to know what happiness means and I blame myself for not having seen
That you were the bell that created the chime and you've always been here the whole time
You see, all my life, I've been on this quest
And, along the way, I've been bullied and blessed
With ignorance being my only crime
Cause you've always been here the whole time
And now that I finally realize
I can gaze deeply into your eyes
So serene and yet so sublime
Cause now I'll be here all the time
