I'm not one of those who say ‘My father was so-and-so’ I say, instead, to the whole world ‘Here I am!’
Purpose and persistence fill my heart I won’t be swayed by what people say
Here I am, here I am! Filling life with joy and optimism
Here I am, here I am! The impossible won’t stop me, never!
How they told me, “You will remain here. You won’t make it, look how long the road is!”
I didn’t listen to them, that’s just the way I am Free, unrestrained, with confidence I build
Here I am, here I am! Filling life with joy and optimism
Here I am, here I am! The impossible won’t stop me, never!
My path is not one of roses Thorns cover it all the way till the end
But if I stumble I find an open hand: My family's love, their closeness, the loyalty of a friend
I won’t forget that one day I strove and was lifted To where I sing to the whole world
Here I am, here I am! Filling life with joy and optimism
Here I am, here I am! The impossible won’t stop me, never!
Here I am, here I am! Filling life with joy and optimism
Here I am, here I am! The impossible won’t stop me, never!
