Charlie Winston - Here I Am lyrics

[Charlie Winston - Here I Am lyrics]

I've never been an academic
I never did well at school
Never made the grade like we're all
Told we're supposed to do
I was slow and to cope I would
Joke and be a teachers fool just to hide it

He said, I'll never come to much
I'll never be no good
I didn't fit in the vision of
The curriculum like I should
Who says a test is the best
Way to get us understood?
I don't think so don't think so, no

Here I am tell me, what I gotta lose?
Tell me, what I gotta prove?
Here I am ain't no win without a fail
So let me fail forward, hey here I am

I said I was slow but now


I know another point of view turns out
I let every little thing sink in until
I know it through and through
Ain't it funny to kill a mockingbird are
Words that we learn at school on compassion?

Well, here I am tell me, what I gotta lose?
Tell me, what I gotta prove?
Here I am ain't no win without a fail
So let me fail forward, hey

Here I am

Each day, I make a bet
That the voices in my head
Won't always understand or take me as I am

I didn't read a lot of books as
A kid until my table's turned
At 21 I began to eat up the whole
Shelf filling up myself in the words
Of other misfit's looking for a
Home in a lonely world

Now, here I am tell me, what I gotta lose?
Tell me, what I gotta prove?
Here I am ain't no win without a fail
So let me fail forward, hey

So let me fail so let me fail forward
Here I am so let me fail
So let me fail forward, hey
