This is not the perfect time and not the perfect place

This is not a paradise and not a state of grace

But we are living

Living now for you

We are living

Living now

These are not the perfect words; this is not the perfect song

If this is all the time we have, then this is where we all belong

Living here, living here

Living now for you

We are living here

Living now

[Chorus]

This is not the pеrfect life

But this is wherе we all begin it

This is not a perfect world

But you are welcome

You are welcome

Welcome in it

You are here and I am here and love and fear and hate are here

And everything that isn't perfect doesn’t have to disappear

Because we are

Living now for you

And so we are

Living now

[Chorus]

This is not the perfect life

But this is where we all begin it

This is not a perfect world

But you are welcome

You are welcome

Welcome in it

This could be the perfect time and this could be the perfect place

This could be a paradise and this could be a state of grace
