Because You Are Here
Daniel Millard 1976 (Medford, OR)
All of us are
Small
We are all great big
You are everything
All that you wish to be
Measuring yourself
Against no other
Go to where you can see
Clearly who you are
Stay as long as you need
Go back often
Go play
Go pray
Lay it down
Dance
It is in you
Sing
Let it all out
You belong
Because you are here
