Here I Am…

Here I am, this is me
There's nowhere else on Earth I'd rather be
Here I am, it's just me and you
Tonight we make our dreams come true

It's a new world, it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day, it's a new plan
I've been waiting for you

Here I am
Here I am

Here we are, we've just begun
And after all this time, our time has come
Yeah, here we are, still goin' strong
Right here in the place where we belong…

These are the words being sung by Bryan Adams every time I start the car, the tune from the CD player. I guess I may be excused for not knowing much about Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron … But, if you have a granddaughter who is about as crazy about things equine as Brynn, then this tune will surely be imprinted into your very being.

With December looming ahead, we have almost completed one year of residence in New Zealand, and I thought the lyrics to be very fitting to our situation in New Zealand.
