Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause baby, you're the only one for me
I know it gets hard when I'm moving in and outta' state
But I promise my heart for you I would save
Just remember that
No matter how far I go
No one or nothing can change
Forever yours, here I stand (here I stand baby)
You're like a mirror to my soul, but a queen (my queen)
And finally now I know just what that means (oh yeah, yeah)
You're the blessing that I never thought I would get
And to the Lord I humbly bow my head
Just remember that
No matter how far I go
And no matter how long it takes
No one or nothing can change
Forever yours here I stand
Ever since you came (since you came along)
It seems life (couldn't get it right)
Yeah, I found I sunk so low, that there was no way I could be found (never thought love would find me)
And when we make love (every time you give, give to me your love)
You make feel a way I never felt
With no one else, and I can't help myself
I'm telling you, that
No matter how far I go
See no matter how long it takes, yeah
No one or nothing, nothing baby, ever change the way I feel, I'm your man (listen, see)
Forever yours, yours, all yours, here I stand, yeah
No matter how far I go
And no matter how long it takes (yeah)
No one or nothing can change
Forever yours, I'll remain
Here I stand
The lyrics of Usher's song "Here I Stand" express the singer's dedication to his lover, reassuring her that he will remain faithful no matter where life's journey takes him. Usher acknowledges the challenges of having a long-distance relationship, but promises to protect his heart for her. He describes his partner as a blessing that he never imagined he could have and regards her as a mirror to his soul. Usher admits that he had hit the low point in his life before his partner's arrival, but now he feels a way he never felt with anyone else. In the end, he declares that his love for her is unwavering and that he will be forever hers.
The song title and lyrics were inspired by Usher's marriage. He wrote the song as an ode to his wife, Tameka Foster, to whom he was married when the album was released. However, the couple's marriage ended in divorce in 2009, just a year after the album's release. Despite its personal nature, the song resonated with many of Usher's fans and earned him critical acclaim.
