Get Here
by Oleta Adams, 1990
"Get Here" became the unofficial anthem for the Gulf War (Desert Storm) in 1991. The lyrics express the longing for a loved one who's many miles away, and the different methods of transportation he can use to return. The song was sung to US troops in the Middle East whose loved ones were home in America, awaiting their return (RRL)
You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just
Get here if you can
You can reach me by sail boat,
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt,
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just
Get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had a way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer
You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just
Get here if you can
I don't care, I don't care
I need you right here right now
I need you right here right now right by my side
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Get here!
I don't care how you get here, just
Get here if you can
