here i am lyrics

I am standing by the river
I will be standing here forever
Though you're on the other side
My face you still can see
Why won't you look at me?

Here I am
Here I am

I am searching through the canyon
It is your name that I am calling
Though you're so far away
I know you hear my plea
Why won't you answer me?

Here I am
Here I am

Here I am
Here I am

I am in the blood of your heart
The breath of your lung
Why do you run for cover?
You are from the dirt of the earth
And the kiss of my mouth
I have always been your lover

Here I am
Here I am

Here I am
Here I am

I am the promise never broken
And my arms are ever open
In this harbor, calm and still
I will wait until
Until you come to me

Here I am
Here I am

Here I am
Here I am

Here I am
Here I am
