Lyrics: Brian Kennedy. Get On With Your Short Life. Here I Am.


I remember how it used to feel
That all the dreams I dreamed would come to be
But each promise made would masquerade
And all my fine ideas would come to nothing
I must admit to feeling that the odds
Were stacked and I could never win
And the more I tried the more I cried
But through it all I knew there would be something

Well I?ve got news for you
You?re never gonna bring me down
Saw the door and walked right through
Here I am
There's just nothing left to prove
Here I am

And so you tried to slow me down
But I was moving much too fast for you
And it doesn?t matter what you say
Or where you are today cause
I?ve stopped running
And if our paths should ever cross
I don?t think I would even recognise you
I know they say it?s in the blood
But you?ve got yours and I know that I?ve got mine

And again I say
You?re never gonna bring me down
And there?s nothing left to prove
Here I am
There?s just nothing you can do
You're never gonna bring me down
Saw the door and walked right through
Here I am
