Lyrics

I'M STILL HERE By Judy Calem & Jim Beggs

I'm still here...

Yesterday I sat and cried at your grave
Feeling like I'm drowning in a tidal wave
Craving relief as I swallow these pain pills
Praying for a miracle to pay my bills

Who's that girl in the mirror's reflection?
Who am I? Am I in the right direction?
Don't recognize myself in the photograph
It's been so long since I've heard myself laugh

But I'm still here/I'm still here/
I'm still here/I'm still here

Got my obsessions, my hidden addictions
Got my demons, my daily afflictions
I still have hope something better lies ahead
Hanging by a fingertip, down to the last thread

But I'm still here/I'm still here/
I'm still here/I'm still here

I will rise above the insanity
Free the darkness trapped in me
Overcoming rage, pain and fear
To fulfill my destiny

(Soft oohs)
(Plaintive oohs)

I'm still here/I'm still here/
I'm still here/I'm still here
I'm still here (with echo)
I'm still here (with echo)
(Extended ooh)
I'm still here
