Upshaw Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What am I here for?
It's time you knew
Here's what I'm here for
I'm here for you

Can you forgive me?
Am I too late?
All the years that I've wandered

And pondered were squandered

My heart insisted
I seek you out
That you existed
My heart had no doubt

To share a journey
That leads to heaven's door
You'll find is what I'm here for

What am I here for?
It's time you knew
Here's what I'm here for
I'm here for you

Can you forgive me?
Am I too late?
All the years that I've wandered
And pondered were squandered

My heart insisted
I seek you out
That you existed
My heart had no doubt

To share a journey
That leads to heaven's door
You'll find is what I'm here for

To share a journey

That leads to heaven's door
You'll find is what I'm here for, I'm here for
