Annie Falconer - I Am Here [lyrics]

I would like to tell a story of a girl that I once knew If you listen kinda carefully you might feel her in you too I have been pretending for a long time not to hurt Do you know the dance of love my friend, shall we dance into this work

For I found the enemy, just a child inside of me

It all seems so true, but it ain’t you

Ah you black and white, you so clean and holy Ah you black and white to be seen This dark and light I have followed closely and I’ve watched the way we deal Come and have your show with me, you may play me to your note My hearts burst right outta me, and I know it’s bursting gold For I found the enemy, just a child inside of me It all seems so true, but it ain’t you

Come here my lover, friend, and foe. Come here and let us be I am not afraid no more, so you better watch out for me Hiding out in shiny ville, I am finished with this mess My heart’s simply broken here, and it’s been broken by the best For I’ve found the enemy, just a child inside of me It all seems so true, but it ain’t you

Would you like to come and tell your story, would you like to tell it well I pretend that I am listening, but I am looking at something else Underneath the chatter, you remind me I am home Woven in your tapestry, I am with you, we are in your home For I found your enemy, just a child inside you It all seems so true, but it ain’t you It ain’t you, it ain’t you, it ain’t you Yes I could have been your lover, make believe you are the other Can’t you see I am your brother, I’m right here Now that I can see it clearly, enemies are nowhere near me Lover don’t you know you know me, I’m right here No fear, no slave, welcome this ache For the joy and the love and the laughing relief And the ache in the heart that the lover released For the moon and the stars and the grass on your feet For the ones wide awake and the ones fast asleep For the rage and the hatred afraid to arise And the pain and the anguish in jealous disguise For the ones who are sure that they’re running the show And the ones that don’t care and the quiet that know For the life and the death the hello and goodbye For the story of me that was never the I For the loss of it all unforgiven in hurt And the time that it took for nothing to work No fear, no slave, welcome this ache I am here, I am here
