Here I Am
Groundation Lyrics

Vengeance grows up from his feet tonight
The feeling of revenge is building up inside him tonight, starting from his feet and moving upwards.

How they sold some, and bought some, and won hundreds tonight
Some people made deals, won battles, and gained profits tonight.

"We'll have them all fighting like caveman tonight"
They plan to instigate violence and chaos tonight.

But then he takes out the ark and scattered their dreams onto seven seas
He brings out the sacred object and destroys their hopes and aspirations, spreading it far and wide.

"Great and sole sun rain them with heavy rock you'll see"
He calls upon the almighty sun to rain destruction upon them with heavy rocks, warning them of the impending doom.

Still I man no want to see it
Despite the situation, he refuses to witness it.

Here I Am, here I am, here I am, here I am, oh can you see it
He emphasizes his presence and questions if others can see what's happening.

Vengeance grows up from his feet tonight
Once again, the feeling of revenge is building up inside him, starting from his feet and moving upwards.

Until it's taken his head, locking it away and now he's hopeless
The feeling of revenge consumes him completely, leaving him feeling hopeless and trapped.

Oh ! Great honey flow crushed by the dreams of which we fled
Their great opportunity was crushed, leaving behind the shattered dreams they had.

Still I man no want to see it
He still refuses to acknowledge the situation.

Here I Am, here I am, here I am, here I am, oh, man talk to Jah !
He emphasizes his presence once again and calls upon others to seek help from Jah (God).

Here I Am, here I am, here I am, here I am, I'm alone, I'm alone Jah
Despite being present, he feels alone and reaches out to Jah for comfort.

Vengeance moves to cover me
The feeling of revenge now covers him completely.

Many thoughts in your head, but no unity
He acknowledges that there are many thoughts and ideas, but no one is unified.

You're miles away from the hands of fate
They are distant from the inevitable outcome of their actions.

Turning everything into a big mistake
Their actions are leading to a big mistake.

I'm walking away cause I'm not satisfied
He decides to walk away because he is not satisfied with the situation.

Putting all my trouble in the Great Divide
He seeks to put his troubles in a sacred place of separation.

Here I Am, here I am, here I am, can you see
He emphasizes his presence once again and asks if others can see what's happening.

Vengeance moves to cover me
Once again, the feeling of revenge consumes him completely.

Many thoughts in your head, but no unity !
He repeats that there are many thoughts and ideas, but no one is unified.

You might start killing down a freedom row
They may begin to kill those fighting for freedom.

Fight a little battle but the win don't show
They may win a small battle, but the ultimate victory is not guaranteed.

You're miles away as you face your sin
They are far away from facing the consequences of their actions.

Like a Babel tower man your vision's in
Their vision is fragmented and disorganized like the Tower of Babel in religious mythology.

Here I Am, here I am, here I am, can you see that
He emphasizes his presence once again and asks if others can see the situation for what it is.

Here I Am, here I am, here I am… here I am
He ends the song by emphasizing his presence one last time.
