Just Like We Are

Summer couldn't bring
me everything
that we can be
There's never been a light
one half as bright
as you and me

When summer turns to fall
we've got it all
just let it rain
We can shine it on
until it's gone
From Lover's Lane

Why should we try for the sun
when we're already one
Can't we shine on and on
just like we are?
Why should we shoot for the sky
when we're already high?
Isn't it you and I
Just like we are?

When winter comes along
there's still a song across the snow
We're an evergreen when life is lean
when life is low

Winter turns to spring
but what you bring is better still
We let it pass on by
but you and I never will

Why should we try for the sun
When we're already one?
Can't we go on and on
Just like we are?
Why should we shoot for the sky
when we're already high?
Isn't it in our hands
Just like we are?

So it ain't what we planned
Love is a bird in hand
This is the promised land
Just like we are
