(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
