Here I Am Lyrics

Here I Am
Well you chased away my angels, And left demons in their stead…
Left me bruised and beat and blue to fight these voices in my head,
Who whisper, ‘Boy you’ll get what’s coming,’ but life hasn’t killed me yet,
Well Here I Am...Here I Am…
And you’ll never know how long this lasts…Like happy days of past lives’ past,
Now long forgotten memories long let go…So I’m coming home.
And I knew that I would love you, with each beat left this chest,
But I felt myself abandon me, when you’d leave like all the rest.
Well the scrapbook said ‘forever,’ but the glue just never set,
So Here I Am…Here I Am…
And you’ll never know how long this lasts…Like happy days of past lives’ past,
Now long forgotten memories long let go…So I’m coming home.

Well you can cut this heart to pieces and throw salt in open wounds,
But this fighter’s hands keep swinging even after rounds they lose.
And when life, she tries to leave me, I’ll just kick on down her tomb,
Say Here I Am…
Here I Am…
Home to where the wheels still hum
The songs we lived when we were young
Of brotherhood when everything goes wrong, wrong, wrong…
Home to where the music sings
Of highway lines and bloodied strings
Where friends and strangers all just sing alon, long, long…
And tunes still bear the weight of heart
Of heartstrings bent, then pulled apart,
And the best goodbyes are still so hard,
With medleys crafted in the yard,
Then on the road, and under stars,
And back again full circle, and I know…
I’m coming home…
