HERE I AM

Paroles

[Intro — spoken, close mic / distant choir] Yeah… I heard Heaven ask a question while the whole damn world stayed quiet. Whom shall I send? …You ain't gotta ask twice. [808 DROP] [Chorus — huge / gospel choir answering] HERE AM I — SEND ME! Fire in my lungs, got the whole world against me Walked through the valley where the darkness tried to end me If You need a soldier for the truth — SEND ME! HERE AM I — SEND ME! Scars on my soul, but the scars don't define me Devil at my back, got the Almighty beside me When that voice comes down from Heaven— HERE AM I — SEND ME! [Verse 1] I done walked through fire with my boots half-burned Lost a couple bridges, watched a few tables turn Had dirt on my name, had blood on my pride Had nights I was breathing but dead inside Then the smoke rolled back and the whole room shook Ain't talking 'bout something I read in a book Felt that question hit like thunder in my chest: "Who gon' stand when there's nobody left?" I ain't spotless I ain't holy I got chapters that the daylight don't know But if You use cracked vessels Then Lord, I'm ready— Tell me where And I'm ready to go. [Pre-Chorus — drums pulling back] No crown. No fame. Don't even need them knowing my name. If there's one light left in a world gone cold— Put that fire in my bones. [Chorus] HERE AM I — SEND ME! Fire in my lungs, got the whole world against me Walked through the valley where the darkness tried to end me If You need a soldier for the truth — SEND ME! HERE AM I — SEND ME! Scars on my soul, but the scars don't define me Devil at my back, got the Almighty beside me When that voice comes down from Heaven— HERE AM I — SEND ME! [Verse 2 — harder trap pocket] Six wings in the smoke, hear the doorposts shake Holy, holy, holy while the whole earth quakes Coal touched lips, now the old me gone Still got scars, but I'm marching on I ain't asking if the road gets rough Already learned what I'm made of Knocked down six, got up seven Been through hell— Still answering Heaven. Let the bass hit hard like Jericho stone Let the lost hear truth when they're walking alone If the night gets black and the wolves close in I ain't turning around— SEND ME AGAIN. [Bridge — blues guitar / choir / almost whispered] Who will go? (I will.) Who will stand? (I will.) Who'll carry that light through the dead of night when everybody else says they can't? I WILL. Even broken. Even bleeding. Even scared down to my bones. Here am I… I ain't hiding anymore. [FINAL DROP — choir exploding] HERE AM I — SEND ME! Throw me in the storm if that's where You need me Chains hit the ground, ain't a damn thing keeping me Death had a shot— BUT IT COULDN'T KEEP ME! HERE AM I — SEND ME! From the dirt to the gates, let Heaven come and get me Until my last breath, that's the promise that I'm keeping When the whole world goes silent and You ask who's willing— HERE AM I! HERE AM I! HERE—AM—I! SEND ME. [Outro — choir fading] Whom shall I send…? Here am I. Send me.
