Here I Stand (Repeat Chorus)

Here I stand
A single woman
Under a single light
On a single stage
Behind a single mic

I live for right now because that’s how time is given to me.
Untying the bows of moments.
Understanding the gift of presence.
Gratitude is the attitude I strive to embody.
Savoring time as it flies by me.
So when I paint my memories they are perfectly pictured.
Vividly remembered.
Brightly burning embers.
No wishes or demands...

Here I stand
A single woman
Under a single light
On a single stage
Behind a single mic

He is the force that unknowingly drives me.
Cuts, divides and multiplies me.
Changed and renamed me.
I move myself so that he can be greater than me.
He is of me, yet he towers above me.
Allowing me to know what love can be when you stop living selfishly.
When the we becomes greater than the me.
As my growing boy becomes a man…

Here I stand
A single woman
Under a single light
On a single stage
Behind a single mic

My life’s aim is not to lay claim to material things.
But to experience the joy, pain and love it brings.
Expensive stuff at the expense of what I can’t touch.
I’d exchange a closet full of clothes for a moment’s peace in my soul.
Solid gold for a hand to hold.
Those Dr. Dre headphones are worthless when listening to my hearts song.
Working, scratching, lying, back biting trying to garner things.
When waking up in the morning is already a blessing.
Praising Him for all I have.
Fat pockets or empty hands.

Here I stand
A single woman
Under a single light
On a single stage
Behind a single mic
