Lyrics
While I’m Here - Tina Ross
While I’m here
I will listen to the cackle of the geese as they land
While I’m here
I will notice the lightness of the dandelion in my hand
As I blow my wish to the wind.
While I’m here
I will welcome the sweat that comes with giving everything
While I’m here
I will search in earnest to help you grab that brass ring
When hair is in my eyes,
I’ll sweep it aside to see you clearly.
Burdens we bear must be burdens we share
That’s how we’re sure to get by
Taking turns to take the lead
One goose alone might never make that flight.
While I’m here
I will raise my voice to the mountains when it’s needed
While I’m here
I will witness the truth and stand for your safe keeping
Cause we know our breaks are so uneven.
Burdens we bear must be burdens we share.
That’s how we’re sure to get by
Taking turns to take the lead
One goose alone might never make that flight.
While I’m here
I will listen to the cackle of the geese as they land
While I’m here
I will notice the lightness of the dandelion in my hand
As I blow my wish to the wind.
