I'm Here

If I could fill you up, I would

Do anything to make you feel good

Lift you up from the bottom of the darkest sea

If I could take you home, today

Back to that place you’d want to stay

I would take you with me

It’s no wonder the sky is fallin’

Children on their knees all bawlin’

This world has seen a better day

But I’ve got news for you

There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t do

I’m here. And here’s where I’m gonna stay

If I could make this life be enough

To get you in and out of the rough

I’d strike a match to the candle in your heart

Then I’d wave a magic baton

To make you all that you want to become

And I’d christen you a perfect work of art

It’s no wonder the sky is fallin’

Children on their knees all bawlin’

This world has seen a better day

But I’ve got news for you

There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t do

I’m here. And here’s where I’m gonna stay

I know a fierce wind’s blowin’

I know that it’s tough goin’

But baby, we can see it through

There’s times I want to end

It feels too torn to mend it

But honey, that’s why I have you

If I could make it right for you

Undo all the wrongs you knew

I’d shine a light on the scars and the wounds you wear

I’d swaddle you in the sun

Bathe your soul in the love of everyone

I would gladly die for you, I swear

It’s no wonder the sky is fallin’

Children on their knees all bawlin’

This world has seen a better day

But I’ve got news for you

There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t do

I’m here. And here’s where I’m gonna stay

Here I am, and here’s where I’m gonna stay
