I am Here (�2007 C. Rothschild)




I can no longer wander freely through these fields and through these mountains.
In the time of this passage, I turn my head towards you.
There is someone inside of you who is waiting to come,
through these fields and these mountains, to this place in the sun.
There is someone inside of you who is waiting to come
with a face we have never seen, as two become one.

And I am here to meet you,
I am here.

And the mountains in autumn, they are standing to see,
with their heads in the heavens, who this person will be.
In the San Luis valley, in the mountains' arms,
may they stand and protect you, help me shield you from all harm.

And I am here to guard you, I am here to meet you,
I am here.

As the clock held its vigil and your hour came near,
though my spirit was shaken, you came without fear.
And you came with wonder, and you came with surprise,
and you gave me back my soul through my mother's and grandmother's eyes.

And I am here to hold you, I am here to guard you, I am here to meet you,
I am here.

As the clock holds its vigil through the things that we live,
all the hours that I hold you may I willingly give.
For we're sent from this unity into separation,
and we're further divided into race and nation.

But I am here beside you, I am here to hold you, I am here to guard you, I am here to meet you,
I am here to love you,
I am here.
