Here I Am

Alone in the dark
Like lost without heart
You just go in circles
Lost without your inner compass

Here I go again
To face the wall of pain
Here I go again
To run from myself away
Here I go again
To save my heart someway

Alone in the dark
We try to save ourselves from another ark
Lost but not broken
We live to hear the truth yet unspoken

Here I am
On this road of love and pain
Here I go again
To face the dream I once had
And still carry it through my way

In this darkness vast
I see no faces, nothing to last
More than one night
No bed to sleep, no place to hide

I run ahead
Here I am
My road is long, long, so long
Like there is no end
Like there is no hand
To hold, nothing left to lose, no more

Here I am again
Dreamless and hopeless
Longer to this pain
From the bottom of my darkness

Look at me now, love
Here I am
Free from my cage
Do you see me now?
Here I am
I could escape
But is there any light inside?

Here I go again
From the heart I used to have
Here I am
Confused, tired, but still loyal to myself
So this is the way
I cannot escape
Will there be someone near
So I won’t just disappear…
