The Smashing Pumpkins - Here I Am lyrics

[Verse 1] They say that freedom is something you make Independence, some sort of change Happiness, a smile, and a fleeting look Who appears inside the soul i strew so with love? [Chorus] Here I am okay, okay There I go alone, easy Here I am to stay, thank you There I go alone [Verse 2] A cat purrs to prove that she's still a cat A dog barks at you to prove he's all that And you'll destroy everything clear in your path To scream that you're human and want something back [Chorus] Here I am okay, okay There I go alone, easy Here I am to stay, thank you There I go alone [Verse 3] A child you were born, a child you'll return Counting your miles, scarred by what you've earned Penetrate the silence with a silence all your own Only you can know what's still left to burn [Chorus/Outro] Here I am okay, okay There I go alone, easy Here I am to stay, thank you When I was afraid There I was okay, okay There I go alone, easy Here I am to stay, thank you When I was afraid
