When you give your all and you’re feeling small, don’t you cry
If you’re crying loud you won’t feel so proud, don’t you cry

There’s a place to be, won’t you stay with me, you can help us see,
Here we are.

Let yourself go by,
You can touch the sky if you try.

All you’ve got to show, you may never know, what you are
If you ever try, can you tell me why, why you are
Only you will know, and you picked your show,
Can you tell me though, will you know?
If you feel like me,
you can’t help but please, who you know.

About Lyrics and Here We Are by Journey

The lyrics to Here We Are are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Journey used when the song was created in 1977. The lyrics to Here We Are have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Journey and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Here We Are by Journey. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Here We Are" means the words set to the music of Here We Are, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Journey. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Here We Are and the lyrics to Here We Are are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Journey who came here looking just for the lyrics to Here We Are, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
