Here I Am

(Deron Wade)

Deron Wade

This song was written through the perspective of a soldier and the various conflicts that arise when Home becomes a memory. How do you deal with Love? Reality vs. an atmosphere of war? Where is Home in a place like this -- can you ever get back?

Here I Am

Man walks down beside himself, sees himself along the way
Says it’s alright I’ll be home soon now
Walks around in a different place
Head is down no words to say
Says it’s alright I’ll be home now

And she pulls the flowers from her hair
Another day where she just doesn’t care
Says it’s alright I’ll be home soon now
Cause she’s walked this road so many times
And lived this life of truth and lies
Says it’s alright I’ll be home now

Here I am all alone, love’s first kiss, sent me home
I don’t know why, still I’ll try, funny how, this simple life of mine

Looking Down by a railroad track
No way gone, no looking back
Says it’s alright I’ll be home soon now
Pulls out a picture and sees her face
Another day that’s been erased one tear for simple days

And she wonders where he is, and he sees her face again
Hard times, crowd the streets, but it’s alright we’re both here now

Here I am, all alone, love’s first kiss, sent me home
I don’t know, yet still I’ll try, funny how, simple life of mine

Looking down by a railroad track
Gun strapped down to his back
Says it’s alright I’ll be home soon now
Bullet hits him in the chest, pulls the picture to his breast
Says it’s all-right, I’ll be home now

And she stands by the window and waits for a reason to cry, she doesn’t know why
And than she sees him standing there a flower falls down from her hair
Says it’s alright we’re both here now

Here I am, all alone, love’s first kiss, sent me home
I don’t know, yet still I’ll try, it’s funny how, simple life of mine

Here I am, all alone, love’s first kiss, sent me home
I don’t know why, yet still I’ll try and try to hold on again
