Here I Am

I come from another place somewhere far away from here
Everybody likes to drive around till there's no place left to go
It's not their fault there are no roads leaving town
And the lies they all have told have left my dreams to drown

As I walk these city streets with my brand new legs
Memories of my former life keep on haunting me
I'm staring in the mirror and I see myself
I feel so funny in these clothes I have to wear

Here I am what you see is what you get, whoa
Like a battered soldier who's lost the war
Someday my native home I will forget, whoa
Like a shipwreck landing on the shores of hope

Maybe I wasn't cut out for this life I'm trying to live
Used to be so far away from all this craziness
You can say what you like and I'll walk away
You'll be left to pick up all the pieces and explain

Here I am what you see is what you get, whoa
Like a battered warrior who's lost his will
Someday my native home will be no more, whoa
Like a shipwreck landing on the shores of hope

Aaahhh
Ooohhh

Here I am what you see is what you get, whoa
Like a beat up soldier who's lost the war
Someday my native home I will forget, whoa
Like a shipwreck landing on the shores of hope

Here I am what you see is what you get, whoa
Like a battered warrior who's lost his will
Someday my native home will be no more, whoa
Like a shipwreck landing on the shores of hope
