Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now Im on my way and Im almost home
and I know I did wrong, yeaaa
But Im better now Im strong
Yea Ive been gone a while, But Im back for good
I was trying to live a life that I misunderstood
I couldnt seem to stay away from the darker things
Like a diamond ring, man I swear its my time
Imma show the world that I have been on my grind
Shine till the death of me,
I give my all till there aint nothing left of me
I put it on my life Im never giving up
And I will never stop till I give enough
The world is on my shoulders and I lift it up
Say I lift it up, yea I just lift it up
Say Ive been away for way too long, yeaa
And now Im on my way and Im almost home
And I know that I did wrong, yeaa
But Im better now Im strong
Here I am, I am just a man
Here I stand, here I stand, here I stand
Im doing everything I can
To show the world who I am
Here I stand, here I stand, here I stand
Yea Ive been gone a while, but here I stand
I returned, a better man,
I Swear my whole life is like a traffic jam
And I Just looked around like I am going nowhere, damn
But that was then and this is now,
we turned a mac but you cant shut me down,
Do you hear that sound, yea thats me blowing up,
whole new rise to the top never slowing up
I put it on my life Im never giving up
And I wont ever stop till I give enough
The world is on my shoulders and I lift it up
Said I lift it up, yea I just lift it up
Said Ive been away for way too long, yeaa
but now Im on my way and Im almost home
and I know that I did wrong, yeaaa
But Im better now Im strong
Here I am, I am just a man
Here I stand, here I stand, here I stand
Im doing everything I can
To show the world who I am
Here I stand, here I stand, here I stand
Im doing everything I can to show the world who I am
Here I stand, here I stand, here I stand
Im doing everything I can to show the world who I am
Here I stand, here I stand, here I stand
Here I am, I am just a man
Here I stand, here I stand, here I stand
Im doing everything I can to show the world who I am
Here I stand, here I stand, here I stand

Just watched the "Entanglement" episode of Touch on Netflix. I heard this song and literally paused it to search for who this was, my SHAZAM didn't bring it up. Sonny Rey, this song is badass bro! I've already shared this video, and I'm gonna try and spread it like wildfire. This is a great song with a great message. Hope you're doing well!
