Here I Am
Sertab Erener Lyrics

Something calling from deep inside me,
There's an urge inside me, a voice that's been there for a while but I didn't pay attention to it.

A voice I knew but I could not hear.
It's a familiar voice, but for some reason, I couldn't hear it.

For so long I have tried to hide me,
I've been trying to conceal and suppress my true self for a long time.

Couldn't see that you were so near.
I didn't realize that you were close by all along.

You know me,
You have a deep understanding of who I am.

You show me,
You have helped me see things in myself that I wasn't able to before.

Everything that I really am and,
You've helped me discover my true identity and have accepted me for who I am.

You see me,
You've looked at me with eyes of acceptance and understanding.

you gave me strength enough to say.
You've given me the courage to finally speak up.

Here I am
I'm finally ready to reveal my true self.

Ready for your love
Now that I've accepted and revealed myself, I'm finally ready to accept your love.

I'll never run away
I won't hide or retreat again.

I have made my connection,
I've finally made a deep, genuine connection with someone.

Seen my reflection in you.
I've seen parts of myself in you, and that's brought clarity and understanding.

So here I am.
I'm standing here, ready to be seen and accepted.

Living under a lonely shadow,
I've been living a life of loneliness and isolation.

I have seen from the other side.
I've seen what it's like on the other side of loneliness and isolation.

Hope will shine from a single candle,
Even a small amount of hope can illuminate and bring light to a dark place.

Leaving all of the pain behind.
I'm ready to let go of all the pain that's held me back.

It's our way,
This is the path we'll take together.

A new day,
This is a fresh start, a new beginning.

Living in the here and now and,
We're going to fully embrace the present moment and live in it.

Believing,
We have faith in ourselves and each other.

I'm feeling strong enough to say.
I'm finally feeling confident and empowered to speak my truth.

Never leave me,
We will always stay together and support each other.

You complete me.
I've found my missing piece in you.

I finally know who I love,
I've finally discovered who I truly love.

I love you
I genuinely love and accept you.

Finally here I am.
I've fully arrived at this moment of acceptance and self-discovery.
