here’s for the years the worms have eaten/ grace for the youth that’s almost gone
i was awake when you were sleeping/ when you are weak i still am strong

don’t despair child- you’d think i can hold you up when you fall
if i can hold up the stars i can answer your call

why so anxious? you’d think i can light up the path for your feet
if i can turn on the sun - let it shine in your street
when i rise up, when i’m carefully painting the dawn it’s for you
rise and shine love, give glory where glory is due

2005 - David Zach

Behind the Song:
"This song is one of my mom's favorites. Some of the lyrics were written over three years ago. We put a towel over Dan's snare on this song to get a more muted feel. I love all the different guitar textures that made it into this one as well. Philip's bass is fun to listen to. We weren't going to put 'Here's for the Years' on the album but Paul came up with some great riffs at the last moment and Jim Cooper, our producer, had us switch the key up a few notes and all of that helped make it work." - David Zach (Remedy Drive)
