HERE I AM
Writer: Melanie Safka

From the album STONEGROUND WORDS (1972)

Here I am, standin' still
Knowin' I'm not goin'
Nowhere today
And maybe not tomorrow
No no, maybe not tomorrow
Maybe not tomorrow
But that's okay

Here I am, empty head
I'm full of heart with an empty bed
Knowin' I'm not goin' nowhere
Nowhere today
And maybe not tomorrow
No no, maybe not tomorrow
Maybe not tomorrow
That's okay

Here I am, dear I am
Standing still
With a lot of time to make a rhyme
And a lot of time to kill

Count the raindrops as they fall
Knowin' that it's rainin'
It's rainin' and that's all
I know that it's just rain
And that is all

La da da, la da da dada
La da da, la da da dada
La da da, la da da dada
Here I am

Nothing left, so here I am
I didn't save for later
Got nothing in the can
Knowin' I'm not goin' nowhere
Nowhere today
And maybe not tomorrow
No no, maybe not tomorrow
Maybe not tomorrow
That's okay

That's okay.
