HERE YOU ARE TODAY (THEME FOR SAINT JOHN) Words & Music: Ken Tobias
Lyrics:
Here I am and there you are
You've worked so long and you've come so far
Growing up is hard sometime
You've seen the rain and you've seen it shine
And there's a heart-beat in your people
It's so strong and clear
And you can feel it getting stronger
You can see it growing everywhere
And here you are today
Like a diamond setting in the sun
And here you are a city
With open arms you welcome everyone
And here you are today
You've kept the best
For the children of tomorrow
Look at you in the night
You're all dressed up in your harbour lights
Morning sounds by the city market
So full of life everyone can feel it
And there's a heart-beat in your people
It's so strong and clear
You can feel it getting stronger
You can see it growing everywhere
And here you are today
Like a diamond setting in the sun
And here you are a city
With open arms you welcome everyone
And here you are today
You've kept the best
For the children of tomorrow

I (Betamax King), conduct what I do with the sole purpose of ensuring the survival of material that may otherwise be lost to time because it is my belief that such material must be preserved and carried on and that the window to save such recorded material before degradation, is but a small opening that I have been fortunate enough to live within.
