lyrics

THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE
Courtney and Ervin Bochmann / Will Kimbrough

Our oldest boy’s a lover
He’s everybody’s friend
Kindhearted and forgiving to the end
Middle boy’s a warrior
He lights up the room
Timid til you push him
Then boom boom boom

Our youngest was an accident
A blessing in disguise
A little bit of both his brothers
Right there in his eyes
I can see in them
What kind of kid I might’ve been
And then it’s clear: That’s why we’re here

We are trying to combine
Both of our independent lives
We have learned to help ourselves
So maybe now we all can thrive
She said “Aren’t you scared? I would be
I might not need you anymore”
And I felt fear. That’s why we’re here

Well we didn’t come to settle
That’s not the way we roll
we can’t take the world on
Til the both of us are whole
And those three wild boys we’re raising
Make it clear: That’s why we’re here

We are trying to give these boys the family
That I never had
Trying not to fuck em up
Just to be their dad
They already have a mama bear
No messin round, no fear
Yeah, that’s why we’re here.

Well we didn’t come to settle
That’s not the way we roll
We can’t take the world on
Til the both of us are whole
And those three wild boys we’re raising
Make it clear: That’s why we’re here
