Glad You're Here

from Life with Friends by Try to Understand

/

about

First verse is questions on the role education should play. Chorus is affirming the amazing but seldom recognized potential of all students. Second verse is condemning self-isolation and rejoicing over friendship.

lyrics

Mister stopped
Making sense
Didn't have
Consequences
For us kids, he said.
Just go out and love your friends.
I am done telling you what to do.
I am done making you do what I want to
He said

Hey!
Don't throw your life away!
You've got a lot of heart!
It's hidden in your brain!
Hey!
You've got a lot of brains!
You know you're really smart!
Don't ever be ashamed!

Never had
Too much time
Turned away those
Friends of mine.
In a sea of my own fear
I almost drowned.
Glad you're here.

Hey!
Don't throw your life away!
You've got a lot of heart!
It's hidden in your brain!
Hey!
You've got a lot of brains!
You know you're really smart!
Don't ever be ashamed!
