Shawn Martin - Here I Stand lyrics

rate me

Close my eyes and whisper in

I’ve forgotten how to grasp it in

Hold my breath and count the stars

I can see myself going so far

And how you think you see me

Is not how you should remember me

And how you think you hear me

Is not how you should listen to me

Hear my words and see my smile

I’m standing right here to let you know

Feel my soul and sparkle my eyes

Take me as I am ‘cause here I stand

Break my bones and shuffle dirt

Lost memories turn to sacred hurt

Dig my grave and hear me scream

A lost soul and a forgotten dream

And how you think you see me

Is not how you should remember me

And how you think you hear me

Is not how you should listen to me

Hear my words and see my smile

I’m standing right here to let you know

Feel my soul and sparkle my eyes

Take me as I am ‘cause here I stand

And how you think you see me

Is not how you should remember me

And how you think you see me (oh, so how do you see me?)

Is not how you should remember me (no, don’t remember me)

And how you think you hear me (oh, so how do you hear me?)

Is not how you should listen to me (oh, so listen to me)

Hear my words and see my smile (hear the words, see the smile)

I’m standing right here to let you know

Feel my soul and sparkle my eyes (feel the soul, sparkle the eyes)

Take me as I am ‘cause here I stand (take me as, here I stand)

And how you think you see me (oh, you think you see me)

Is not how you should remember me (oh, you should remember me)

And how you think you hear me (oh, so you think you hear me)

Is not how you should listen to me (oh, you will listen to me)

Hear my words and see my smile (hear the words, see the smile)

I’m standing right here to let you know

Feel my soul and sparkle my eyes (feel the soul, sparkle the eyes)

Take me as I am ‘cause here I stand
