Here I Stand
Wondering when the smoke will clear
Hoping it will soon disappear
The cloud hanging over my head
Can't tell if love is near
I reach out blind
Trying to feel with my hands
No one is there
So here I stand
Speaking into the mist
I try to explain who I am
I hear a voice speaking back
Trying to explain who I am
The cloud begins to mistake me
As another from its past
Shaking me, accusing me, mad at me
But We have never been one so to whom are you referring may I ask
I've been mixed up, confused with,
Thought of as another
But take a moment to know me
I just may be your final lover
The fog's hands come out and grab me
Toss me in a bag with a bunch of others
Shaking me up to look like them
In with bamboozlers of every color
How do I escape
The hurt from the hands' past
You have mistaken my identity
I'm your true love at last
Scrapping and scratching
Clawing and pleading
Begging you to see
I'm not trying to be misleading
In silence, I tell my inner man
I just want to be in love
It sounds so simple
To place no one above
I thought this was what you wanted
It's what I heard you say
Yet here I stand offering
Willing to love you everyday
How did I mistake
What I thought you said you desired
Instead of getting to know me
You searched to see if you could make me a liar
Yet here I stand longing for you
To just give me a chance
To love you faithfully forever
And in love we can take our stance
Let me tell you all of my secrets
Writing my journal on your heart
Know every aspect of my being
Let's have nothing keep us apart
Yes, I'm asking you to be with me
Let me be your man
I'm leaving myself wide open
With extended arms in love, here I stand
