Here I Am

Story Behind The Song

This song started after hearing our drummer, Arturo play, the harmonica at practice. Noel thought let's incorporate it into one of our songs. Since none seemed to fit he composed this one and Dymphna set out to write the lyrics. So a counbtry song from a fusion band was born.

Song Description

Female independence in a country song with a little jazzy twist. A woman who realizes she doesn't need the man she's with, he's only been blocking her way. She's ready to break away and start new with only herself and faith along.

Lyrics

Here I Am
No fire left to burn the flame
Here I Am
A simple girl, no claim to fame
Here I Am
A shell, A leaf in a raging storm

Here I Am
Calling out to see it through
Here I Am
Finding hope within myself
Here I Am
A girl, not afraid to be alone
A girl, a girl not afraid to be alone

Knelling at the Pew
Knelling at the Pew
Knelling at the Pew
Knelling at the Pew


There you are
Waiting for this girl to fall
There you are
A little man, no pride at all
There you are
A stump, A log on an open road

There you are
Reaching out to pull me in
There you are
Losing all you once possesed
There you are
A man, afraid to be alone
A man, a man afraid to be alone

Knelling at the Pew
Knelling at the Pew
Knelling at the Pew
Knelling at the Pew

Here I Come
Cross a bridge that's just been built
Here I Come
A vacant sheet, no pen in hand
Here I Come
Unmasked, Unswayed to the course ahead

Here I Come
Over streams of rock and moss
Here I Come
Searching faith to guide me through
Here I Come
A girl, not afraid to find the truth
A girl, a girl not afraid to find the truth

Knelling at the Pew
Knelling at the Pew
Knelling at the Pew
Knelling at the Pew

Here I Am
No fire left to burn the flame
Here I Am
A simple girl, no claim to fame
Here I Am
A shell, A leaf in a raging storm

Here I Am
Calling out to see it through
Here I Am
Finding hope within myself
Here I Am
A girl, not afraid to be alone
A girl, a girl not afraid to be alone
