Here I Am
Ilse de Lange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know myself ,I know what's deep inside of me
I've packed my bags, I've travelled far, as I can see
But with guiding wrong and with lighting wrong
Here I am
I am lost, but I can see my destination
It's clear in sight, my heart's already there
With you I've felt every sad emotion
But I still wanna trust and care
Now I believed, That I could give you control
And I thought that you, would treasure too, my very soul

But with guiding wrong and with lighting wrong
Here I am
I am lost, but I can see my destination
It's clear in sight, my heart's already there
With you I've felt every sad emotion
But I still wanna trust and care

But with guiding wrong and with lighting wrong
Here I am
I am lost, but I can see my destination
It's clear in sight, my heart's already there
With you I've felt every sad emotion
But I still wanna trust and care





I see it clearly now
I like where I am
