I Am Here

You are here
At the start of a moment
On the edge of the world
Where the river meets the sea
Here, on the edge of the Atlantic
On an island in between
There and here
And I am here

I am here
I am here on an island
Hello? Yes it's me
My son's Rescue 2
I am his mother
I'm far away-
Fine. I'll hold again
I'll hold you again

I should be checking the hospitals
Putting up signs
But instead I am
Here
I am here in Newfoundland

Let me tell you, listen
My son, he takes risks
He's not missing; he's helping or hurt
He'll get out of this
I'll be here
At the grade school in gander
I'll be here

I should be there
When it's over
When he comes through the door and he says
"Mom, I am here. I am home"

You are here
At the end of a moment
At the end of the world
Where the river meets the sea
Here, on the edge of the Ocean
Where the story ends

You are here
At the start of a moment
On the edge of the world
Where the river meets the sea
Here, on the edge of the Atlantic
On an island in between
There and here

You are there
And I am here
