Here I Am Lyrics

They say that freedom is something you make
Independence, some sort of change
Happiness, a smile, and a fleeting look
Who appears inside the soul i strew so with love?

Here i am okay, okay
There i go alone, easy
Here i am to stay, thank you
There i go alone

A cat purrs to prove that she's still a cat
A dog barks at you to prove he's all that
And you'll destroy everything clear in your path
To scream that you're human and want something back

Here i am okay, okay
There i go alone, easy
Here i am to stay, thank you
There i go alone

A child you were born, a child you'll return
Counting your miles, scarred by what you've earned
Penetrate the silence with a silence all your own
Only you can know what's still left to burn

Here i am okay, okay
There i go alone, easy
Here i am to stay, thank you
When i was afraid
There i was okay, okay
There i go alone, easy
Here i am to stay, thank you
When i was afraid

This song is about what it means to be human. It's pretty simple musically and lyrically but has a really personal feel to it and a catchy melody. As it only appears on a bootleg of Machina acoustic demos you have to download it to get it, try Audiogalaxy.
