That's Why
When I was still a little wide eyed girl
Just about the age of 5
I recall it gave my heart a twirl
When Emmylou sang about life
I knew back then, although I didn't see how
Where I wanted to go
But when I look into my heart right now
It's still the only thing I know
I stumbled on a song
It almost made me fly
But it took so long
And I can't tell you why
It seemed so clear for so many years
I was just a child and the plan seemed wild
But that's why I'm standing here
I was lucky when a dream came true
But it didn't blow me away
Flying in a cage like a bird in a zoo
So I figured I couldn't stay
But when in Rome, it humbles me
I know exactly where I stand
Ancient tales touching me
Beauty by Italian hands
What a surprise
Hard to trust my eye
I saw paradise
It almost made me cry
It seemed far off but it felt so near
They said I was smart but it had to be art
And that's why I'm standing here
What can I say
I've been running through life
Never thought I might be blind
I've been a friend
A mother
A lover and a wife
With just enough trouble on my mind
I was never scared to let it come in
It could feed me, but hurt me too
And when running turned into shuffeling
Voices pulled me through
I stumbled on a song
It almost made me fly
But it took so long
And I can't tell you why
We made a move and shed a tear
But all that counts is how it sounds
And that's why I'm standing here
All that counts is how it sounds
And that's why I'm standing here
Just about the age of 5
I recall it gave my heart a twirl
When Emmylou sang about life
I knew back then, although I didn't see how
Where I wanted to go
But when I look into my heart right now
It's still the only thing I know
I stumbled on a song
It almost made me fly
But it took so long
And I can't tell you why
It seemed so clear for so many years
I was just a child and the plan seemed wild
But that's why I'm standing here
I was lucky when a dream came true
But it didn't blow me away
Flying in a cage like a bird in a zoo
So I figured I couldn't stay
But when in Rome, it humbles me
I know exactly where I stand
Ancient tales touching me
Beauty by Italian hands
What a surprise
Hard to trust my eye
I saw paradise
It almost made me cry
It seemed far off but it felt so near
They said I was smart but it had to be art
And that's why I'm standing here
What can I say
I've been running through life
Never thought I might be blind
I've been a friend
A mother
A lover and a wife
With just enough trouble on my mind
I was never scared to let it come in
It could feed me, but hurt me too
And when running turned into shuffeling
Voices pulled me through
I stumbled on a song
It almost made me fly
But it took so long
And I can't tell you why
We made a move and shed a tear
But all that counts is how it sounds
And that's why I'm standing here
All that counts is how it sounds
And that's why I'm standing here
