What Brings You Here

Sure, there’s a part of me, can see when grace abounds,
Watch you come and go and let me know I’m blessed
Part of me is just grateful when you’re around,
Then there’s the rest – yeh, the rest



Sure, there’s a bit of shame in not being satisfied,

To also want to take the credit for your smile
Say – if I poured on out these insides would I find
What’s worth your while? What’s worth your while?

So what’s it take for me to be
What brings you here?
(Say, what bring you here?)
Sure, call it greed, the need to be
What brings you here?
(Say, what bring you here, huh?) 


Sure, there’s a part of me and maybe you as well,
That every day is trying to bottle up some miracle
What part of us thinks sunshine can be ours to keep or sell
But what the hell… yeh, what the hell… 


So can’t I take, can’t I become
What brings you here?
(Say, what bring you here?)
Oh, I ain’t no fun - let alone
What brings you here?
(Say, what bring you here, huh?)
I wanna be, I wanna be… 


The carrot on the stick, the pillow when you’re sick,
What’s brought from the oven to the sill,
Squeaking swings, butterfly wings, of thee I sing 


Part of me is just glad to watch you roam
The rest of me, needs you to call me “home”
Whatever can bring you must be some beauty too…
