I Am Here

For years I've been trying to find
The reason for the fear
In my mind
And in my soul

No matter how hard I'd fight
Darkness over light
As I crawled
In a dark dark hole

Trying to get a grip on reality
But all I could see
Was myself
Losing control

Every day I'd be so scared and confused
Fighting with my consciousness and leaving feeling used
But then I heard a sound which now I hold so dear
It was my own voice talking to me, ringing in my ear, and I heard it so clear

I am here
Here I am
Take it or leave it but I truly believe it
I am here

I was blind but now I see
Breathe in, breathe out
Feel the black smoke
Begin to stall

The knowledge helps pick me up when I fall
I wouldn't be here
If I wasn't here
And that is all

Now through the gray clouds, I see a bright shining day
To find the light inside I knew there was a way
It's getting much better now year after year
With my own voice talking to me, ringing in my ear
Still I hear it so clear

I am here
Here I am
Take it or leave it but I truly believe it
I am here

Yes, I am here
Here I am
Take it or leave it but I truly believe it
That I am here
