Here I Am
Girlicious Lyrics

Sometimes you don't realize what you mean
Sometimes you underestimate your own worth

Sometimes the grass is greener than it seems
Sometimes things are better than they appear

Sometimes we don't realize what we're worth
Sometimes we don't recognize our own value

Sometimes we fall so hard that we're numb to all the hurt
Sometimes the pain we experience is so intense that we become desensitized to it

Tell me is there more to me,
Asking if there is more to oneself than meets the eye

Than what you see in magazines
Questioning if there is more to oneself than what others perceive through media

Tell me if you think I'm what you see
Asking for someone's honest opinion on whether or not their perception of oneself is accurate

Well do you wanna be me?
Challenging someone to consider if they truly want to emulate oneself

Here I am
Presenting oneself for scrutiny and evaluation

You wanna see what I see?
Asking others if they want to view the world from the same perspective

Here I stand
Asserting oneself and standing firm

You wanna know what I know?
Inviting others to learn or see what oneself knows or perceives

Well do you wanna be me?
Continuing to challenge others to consider if they truly want to emulate oneself

Sometimes I wish I could be like you
Sometimes one envies others and wishes they could be like them

Sometimes I need a break just to get me through
Sometimes one needs to take a break in order to cope or get through stressful situations

Most times I'm in love with the life I live
Most of the time one is content with their life

Most times I've got so much more to give
Most of the time one feels like they have more to offer the world

Take a good look at that face that's in the mirror
Advising someone to reflect upon themselves and who they are

Cause it's the only one you got
Reminding someone that they have to accept and love themselves because they only have one life to live

But baby you are everything I'm not
Acknowledging that everyone is unique and different from one another

I don't do it for the fame,
Claiming that one does not pursue something solely for the purpose of achieving notoriety

Do it for the money,
Acknowledging that financial compensation is a motivating factor

Do it for attention
Admitting that attention is something that one desires

I do it cause I love it
Stating that passion is the driving force behind one's actions

There's more to life than the glory and the power
Reminding oneself and others that there are more meaningful things in life than fame and influence

You gotta know who you are
Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and self-acceptance
