Here I am Lyrics

IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE
I PRAY FROM GOD MY SOUL ESCAPES
I WONDER WHAT THE PRICE WOULD BE
TO ROAM THROUGH TIME ETERNALLY
TO ROAM THROUGH TIME ETERNALLY

HERE I AM
HERE I AM

AND WHEN THIS WORLD COMES TO AN END
WHO WILL HEAVEN SEND TO FIND ME
TO FIND ME

HERE I AM
HERE I AM
HERE I AM
HERE I AM

I'M PASSING THROUGH CAN YOU FEEL ME? I'M IN FRONT OF YOU CAN YOU SEE ME?
SCREAMING CAN YOU HEAR ME
SCREAMING CAN YOU HEAR ME

HERE I AM
HERE I AM
HERE I AM
HERE I AM

I'M IN YOUR HEAD I KNOW YOUR DREAMS
BUT POWERLESS TO CHANGE YOUR MIND

HERE I AM
HERE I AM
HERE I AM
HERE I AM

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I cannot believe that no one commented on this song before. I think that the meaning is pretty straight forward: he does not want God to take his soul, not out of disbelieve but out of mistrust (probably). He's ready to face the unknown rather than accept God as an end. Brilliant!
