I'm Here

I'm Here - The Color Purple

I don't need you to love me

I don't need you to love

I've got

I've got

I've got my sister I can feel her now

She may not be here but she's still mine

I know she still love me

Got my children I can't hold them now

They may not be here but they still mine

I hope

They know I still love them

Got my house it still keep the cold out

Got my chair when my body can't hold out

Got my hands doing good like they s'posed to

Showing my heart to the folks that I'm close to

Got my eyes though they don't see as far now

They see more 'bout how things really are now

I'm gonna take a deep breath

Gonna hold my head up

Gonna put my shoulders back

And look you straight in the eye

I'm gonna flirt with somebody

When they walk by

I'm gonna sing out

Sing out

I believe I have inside of me

Everything that I need to live a bountiful life

With all the love alive in me

I'll stand as tall as the tallest tree

And I'm thankful for every day that I'm given

Both the easy and hard ones I'm livin'

But most of all I'm thankful for

Lovin' who I really am

I'm beautiful

Yes I'm beautiful

And I'm here
