I Am Here Songtext
von Q. Smith

Anyway, I get lunch set up, labelin′ anything that'll go bad with the date and time
I let the pants out for one of the pilots who′s been enjoyin' our cookin'
Make a balloon animal for a cryin′ toddler
And then, I check on Hannah, leavin′ messages for anyone she can reach

I am here, I am here on an island
Hello? Hello? It's me again
Yeah, my son, he′s with Rescue 2, any news?
I am his mother, I'm far away, stuck here
I′m trying to find out if-fine, I'll hold again


I should be down there and check in the hospitals
Putting up signs, doing something, instead
I am here, I am here in Canada
I am telling you, listen, my son, he takes risks
He′s not missing, he's helping or hurt, he'll get out of this
Yes, I keep trying and yes, here′s the number
And yes, at the Legion in Gander, I′ll be right here

I should be there when it's over and done
When he comes through the door and says, "I′m home, mum"
I should be there for my son, but instead
I am here, I am here

She leaves message after message for her son
Until there's no more room on his answerin′ machine

All I know is you are there
You are there, and I am here
