The colors bright
The buildings old
You never said
I never told
This was not a destination
But here I am
I didn't think
I'd get my share
They saved my place
They named my chair
I have my reservations
But here I am
I gave them words
To hear them speak
It made me strong
And made them weak
I have my reputation
Here I am
You didn't guess
I do not mind
They wait in the wings
The price, my time
Another expectation
Here I am
The night was black
The stars passed by
We're holding on
We simplify
Under your constellation
Here I am
The colors bright
The buildings old
I always thought
That we might know
I'd see the destination
Here I am
