I'm Here (From "The Color Purple") Songtext

von Fantasia

I don't need you to love me
I don't need you to love
I've got, I've got, I got my sister,
I can feel her now
She may not be here,
But she's still mine

And I know, she still love me
I got my children,
I can't hold them now
They may not be here,
But they still mine and I hope

They know I still love them
Hey,
I got my house,
It still keeps the cold out
I got my chair
When my body can't hold out
Got my hands doin' good like they supposed to
Showing my heart to the folks that I'm close to
I 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
Hey
I'm gonna hold my head up
I'm gonna put my shoulders back
And look you straight in the eye
Gonna flirt with somebody
When they walk by
I'm gonna sing out
Sing, oh yeah

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 each day that I'm given
Both the easy and the 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
