Sufjan Stevens, Rosie Thomas - Here I Am! lyrics

Here I am outside can you hear me?
Can you see me? Yet I nearly died
Can you hear me? Can you see me?

But I won't go back where I was before
Where I don't belong can you hear me?
Oh, can you see me?
For I left that place for a long long time
No I won't go back there can you hear me?
Oh, can you see me?

Here I am outside can you hear me?
Can you see me? And yet I nearly died
Could you hear me? Could you see me?

When I had that look of a rolling dice
And you had to look away could you see me?
Could you hear me? And you would not touch
And you would not kiss
And you could have left could you hear me?
Could you see me?

Don't be such a drag as you told me
And you showed me
I could not get my act together
Can you hear me? Oh, can you see me?

No I won't go back to the glory days
When I wasn't right can you hear me?
Oh, can you see me? So I'm turning back
To the glorious face that the lord has made
He can hear me oh, he can see me

So I'm turning back to the glorious face
That the lord has made he can hear me
Oh, he can see me

Here I am outside can you hear me?
Can you see me? And yet I almost died
Can you hear me? Oh, can you see me?
