Everywhere I Am
Jaheim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ummmm I hear you voice inside my head everywhere
Ooooo yeah clear as day inside my head everywhere

It's killing me softly with every heartbeat
thinking you can't see how your sons living
(Hey mama) Is there an address up in heaven
I feel dropping you this letter but it will be return to sender
How I wish I could bring you home flowers on tombstones
Lets me know it's been too long since I've been in whose arms
(Yours mama) It's getting colder every winter
I can't take the heat in summer, can't hardly deal with all this drama but

(Just when) I'm inches away from losing my mind
(That's when) I swear sometime
(I hear your voice inside my head) and it feels like you're
(Everywhere, everywhere I am)
(Just when) the walls are closing in on my world
(That's when) I see my favorite girl
(Clear as day inside my head) and it's obvious you're
(Everywhere, everywhere I am)

Was that you saying just keep on praying
You'll see the day when it will be worth the waiting
(Hey mama) I think I've received your message
Think how I'm receiving blessings Finally got the platinum record
Did you see me on soul train dedicated the whole thing
To your memory just hoping you're out there and knowing
(You're mama) You were floating onstage with me
Someone said they saw me glistening
Gotta let you know I'm listening to you

(Just when) It's the most important time of my life
(That's when) That's when I swear sometimes
(I hear your voice inside my head) and it feels like you're
(Everywhere, everywhere I am)
(Just when) Just when the heavens open up on the world
(That's when) I see my favorite girl Julie
(Clear as day inside my head) It's so obvious you're
(Everywhere, everywhere I am)

If God is in the spirit world talking to my heart
Then for an angel I know it can be hard
You are my guardian and I know you're still playing your part
(I know you are) Just on the other side but always in my life
No need to just believe I know you're here with me
I'm reaching out my hand and to the promise land
to feel your presence when I need strength

Everywhere I am, Everywhere I am
Everywhere I am Everywhere I am




Everywhere I am Everywhere I am
Everywhere I am

Overall Meaning

In Jaheim's song Everywhere I Am, the artist is expressing the pain of losing his mother and how she continues to be a guiding presence in his life. The lyrics convey a deep connection between him and his mother that extends beyond her physical presence. The opening lines, "Ummmm I hear your voice inside my head everywhere / Ooooo yeah clear as day inside my head everywhere," indicate how closely he feels her presence.


The song progresses to express his longing for his mother and how he wishes he could bring her flowers on tombstones. However, the artist finds solace in the fact that his mother's spirit is with him always as he faces life's challenges. In the chorus, he hears his mother's voice in his head when he is on the verge of losing his mind. He feels her guidance and her reminder to keep praying and waiting for better days to come. This chorus is repeated twice with different verses, and each time the artist expresses his deep connection with his mother, feeling her presence everywhere he goes.

I lost my mom to cancer in 08’, I was 32 yrs old. I was a drunk and drank more and more as the months passed and slowly took her from us. Her one wish for me was to stop drinking. At 46yrs old I’ve been sober for 2.5 yrs now. I swear this song though!!!!!!!!!! Sundays were our days. Every now and then I’ll leave this song on repeat and just cry my eyes out. Love this song

J

David I'm sending you hugs and I'm so glad you're putting your health first. It's clear you love your precious Mom very much, she knew that for sure. A 90's ad said 'Tear's are the anti-freeze for the soul'. It hurts while crying but after, some of the pressure is gone. Keep playing this song, cry when you need to, and know that you are loved.

Sang this song at my son's funeral. He was a month old. This song healed me in a way. I sing it to him every time i think about him. It healed me. It got me through my darkest time. I will forever be grateful for Jaheim for this song.
Its been 9 years and the pain still lingers.
RIP Elam'sana 9 August 2007 - 4 October 2007
