Lyrics
Here I am Lesser than I’ve been before In this land of scares & doors My soul strength is weak. Here I am In my own season of lifeless trees Pride blown away by the wind like its leaves The weather is beautiful, & bleak. I came here To build a home Exchanged all my dreams for bricks & stone So heavy that it broke my throne I’m a king with no kingdom Here I am Lost in the town of learning curves The only directions are more twists & turns As I’m driven for a better version of me Here I am In this star of a lonely trance With heat waves of promises & tides of chance Grab it by the horns and try to run free
