Skipping through my music library, I came across a recording Bryn and I did a couple of weeks before he left on his mission (August/September 2008.) It was extremely rewarding to collaborate with him for this song. He is the most patient person I have ever worked with in song-writing. (This recording was after 5-6 full runs in the studio, and my voice was dying.) The result isn't perfect, but it's our song. :) Aw.
"What We Are"
There are some things in this world
Oh, that we just won't know.
I need to know what we are.
So, please tell me what we are
'cuz I can't help feelin'
Like I'm straddling two cliffs.
About to fall to the dark below.
Reach for me, baby, give me your hand.
No more clues, no more games.
We are what we are,
But what are we?
I've been standing for a while
Oh, against the winds
Waiting for your hand to hold.
Blown away by who you are.
You just can't beat
The man you are and the god I see.
About to fly, take me up above.
Reach for me, baby, give me your hand.
Bring on trials, bring on errors.
We are what we are,
And you're what I couldn't be.
Bring on trials, bring on errors.
We are what we are,
And you're what I couldn't be.
