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
