I Have A Song
Eric Roberson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How does is feel to finally be free
I wonder will I ever know
Sometimes I dream of how that can be
To have a life that I own

Chorus:
When you look at me
what do you see
do you understand my story
all I want is love
For someone else to see
If you took the time I have a song

For so, so long I've been searching
For something that were probably not meant to find
But no matter how hard it gets no matter if the tears fall
Nothing should stop us from trying ohhh…

Chorus:
When you look at me
what do you see
do you understand my story
all I want is love
For someone else to see




If you took the time I have a song
