Here I Am

Following in the footsteps of a life I wish I had
To be somewhere
To be someone
To mean something
To someone

Following the mantra of a woman in despair
Don't be alone
Don't stay too long
Don't get to care
Don't hold on

But each day that brushes past me stops briefly 
just for a moment, to wipe a tear from my cheek and softly
Say "here I am and here you are"
We won't get far without each other

From one step to bridge another 
Space in time
We're in this together
Don't give up
Don't give in
Hold on.
