Just an hour and we'll be home
with my family that i chose
you're my family
and on the pavement still gripping the phone
you came and wrapped your arms around my soul
and we were shaking
and you're so much a part of me
and so this is why i'm here
when we called you
you came so fast
and sat beside me while hours and days past
i'll always thank you for that
and there you were
with your heart made of gold
so strong, the only thing holding us up
and we knew you would always be so close
and so this is why i'm here
and then there was you
you always made us laugh
and you would help us to find the right path
and there is no one as full of life
and so this is why i'm here
