We Are Not Long Here

I've been on a Brooke Fraser kick for a while now, and it all became complete tonight as I met the nicest fella who happens to be visiting from New Zealand. So I figured I'd give a little shout out to the Kiwis with one of the most brilliant songs that I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.



If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the felsh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost or just found, on the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way
is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive
'Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
An avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know You
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming


Other faves of mine from Miss Fraser (Ligertwood) include Albertine, Shadowfeet, Deciphering Me and Faithful.
