So Here We Are

We have never felt hopelessly hungry

We can’t even imagine dying of thirst

We live within a circle, never cross that boundary

Out of our depth we were never immersed

So here we are

Gathered together

Here we are

Wonderful weather

Tonight when the lights are out

A blue horror will keep us amused

In our minds there is a nagging doubt

Perhaps fact and fiction are fused

We were never taught how to light a fire

Out in the wild for food to hunt

For what we consume we did not perspire

No wonder our senses became blunt

So here we are

Gathered together

Here we are

At the end of our tether

Perhaps you know what on earth this is all about

I can tell as much now, I am not amused

Some are pushing like mad, others shout

This is no cricket, I tell you, there is no excuse

We all like discipline, observe the law, have manners

We dislike thinking we’re not so well versed

We give nothing for nothing, never hold a banner

With lack of commitment we are cursed or blessed

 So here we are

Gathered together

We want to yell and jar

But instead talk about the weather

Don’t try to turn me inside out

To make me express how I feel, I refuse.

If you stab into my heart blood will not spout

Just don’t go too deep. It’s no use

Now we want a break, can take no more

Sell the house dear or change décor

Maybe go on holiday, life is bore

Stick to what you know don’t ask what for

So here we are

Gathered together

Looking bizarre

Strapped in chain and leather
