Here I Am © Mancini 2002,2004
tell me it's over tell me we're thru say hey i'm leaving u dear
then tell me something i dont want to hear...
here i am cant you see me here
here i am after all these years
it started back when i was 10 when every time i'd raise my hand
the teacher wouldn't pick me then and no one picks me now
then out of nowhere u roll in and i'm no longer gunga din
i'm beautiful and i've got friends and then it's over
here i am cant you see me here
here i am after all these years
freedom is an awful word when it is something that you've only heard about in other peoples' dreams
they smile at me i wave to them from deep inside this cage i'm in where i just want to scream
here i am cant you see me here
here i am after all these years, after all these tears
when the cops came to my door their jaws almost hit the floor
they're telling me you're here no more and yes, i'm smiling
trying hard to shed a tear, trying hard to look sincere
they've locked u up for 40 years and i am dancing
here i am, dancing dancing here
i'm doing a cartwheel
here i am and i'm so happy to be here
after all these years
here i am
