Cover image for post Here we are, by mmaho

Here we are

This here is our year

We’re meant to be here

United

Excited

So let me be clear

This here is our year

There’s nothing to fear

We own it

The moment

It finally appears

We wake up every day

Not much feels out of place

Some things we want to erase

But here out of God’s grace

Is a group that’s unlike

Anything I’ve ever known

There’s a word to describe it

But that word I’ll postpone

reciting

Uniting

ourselves together as one

A team from the start

Family by the time we are done

But we’ll never be through

This I know through and through

There’s so much we’ve come through

But so much left to do

We think that we know

What it means to succeed

To love

Be proud of

And know how to believe

And still every morning

Nothing feels new

Until all of a sudden

There’s me and there’s you

And there’s us

And we wonder, "Where did all this come from?

What are we to become?

What will be the outcome?”

And this much I know

There’s a lot that I owe

To the people

Who let me

Breathe in and let go

Of the trivial

visible

physical

typical

All things that get in the way of unstoppable

Here we are

And this gift

To our lefts and our rights

This is where it exists

In the grit and the fight

That we see in our eyes

In our faces it glows

And we finally realize

That here we behold

The unstoppable

It’s our year

It’s right here

Turn the gears

Face our fears

We adhere

To the cheers

It is clear

That we’re near

The unstoppable

We fight

With our might

We delight

Reach new heights

It’s in sight

It’s tonight

Future’s bright

It’s our right

We’re unstoppable
