Lyrics
BEING THERE (a trilogy)
Two strangers are standing in a doorway
Laughing at their circumstance
A sudden shower dancing on the sidewalk
Minutes pass without a glance
An awkward conversation follows
Finally turning from the rain
Before either of them know it
Their last names become the same
How did they find each other
Time travelers unaware
It's not fate or predestination
I believe it's just being there
He turned sixteen, got his driver's license
Took his best girl to the prom
"You drive careful" was the admonition
Coming from his dad and mom
Headed home she told him "baby floor it"
Youthful passion fanned the fire
He wrapped the family car around an oak tree
Two brand new angels join the choir
Repeat Chorus
Do all things happen for a reason
Is life planned for us in advance
Does some great puppet master
Pull the strings just to watch us dance
They meet again at a class reunion
Fifty years have slipped away
Each alone without a loved one
But everything will change today
Some small talk about the old days
Comes round to those have gone before
He sees a tear fall down her gentle face
Love opens up a closing door
Repeat chorus: How do we find etc.
I believe it's just...being there
