I’m Yr Here-I-Am

[Verse 1]
First my fate was
To be lied to
'Cause I liked it
And I lied, too
Then my fate was
On its round two
Out of two rounds
It stopped—
It said “here I am
Here I am”

[Chorus]
“Come embrace me
I’m yr long-lost
I'm yr comeback
I'm yr here-I-am
Don’t waste me
'Cause I won't last long
And I won't come back
I'm yr here-I-am
I'm yr here-I-am”

[Verse 2]
Slowly it comes 'round again
Second time—still it's not sure
First time I lied
Said, “I’m not ready yet”
And it slammed the door
After suffering all the scabs falling off
I can lie no more
Now one last try
And it’s so closeby
In the starlight
In the streetlight
In the headlight
In the houselight
In the half-light
In the no light
Even then, it's so bright
You can’t help but hear
“Here I am”

[Chorus]
“Embrace me
I'm yr long-lost
I'm yr comeback
I'm yr here-I-am
Don’t waste me
'Cause I won't last long
And I won't come back
I won't come back
I'm yr here-I-am
I'm yr here-I-am”
