I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme) Lyrics – John Rzeznik

I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme) Text

---

I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms

And what do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want
Me to be

And what
Do you think you'd understand
I'm boy, no, I'm a man
You can't take me
And throw me away

And how
Can you learn what's never shown
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here

[Chorus]
And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted - I could be
Now you know me
And I'm not afraid

And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am

[Chorus]

And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here

They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin' while I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe

[Chorus]

And how can you say I'll never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
'Cause I'm still here

I'm the one
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here

Soy, la pregunta del millon
Siempre la interrogacion
No respondas que si, porque si
Y que? Que podrias tu decir?
Si yo no te voy a oir
No me entiendes y nunca sere lo que esperas de mi

Jamas, ya me vas a conocer
Nino y hombre puedo ser
No me uses y apartes de ti
Y vi, como alguien aprendio
Lo que nadie le enseno
No me entienden, no estoy aqui

Chorus:
Y yo solo quiero ser real
Y sentir el mundo igual
Que los otros, seguir siempre asi
Porque yo tendria que cambiar?
Nadie mas lo va intentar
Y no entienden que sigo aqui

Y tu ves lo que ellos nunca ven
Te daria el cien por cien
Me conoces, y ya no hay temor
Yo mostraria lo que soy
Si tu vienes donde voy
No me alcanzan, si eres mi amigo mejor

Bridge:
Que sabran del mal y el bien?
Yo no soy lo que ven
Todo un mundo durmiendo, yo sigo sonando, porque?
Sus palabras susurran mentiras que nunca creere

Chorus:
Y yo solo quiero ser real
Y sentir el mundo igual
Que los otros, por ellos, por mi
Porque yo tendria que cambiar?
Nadie mas lo va intentar
Y estoy solo, y sigo aqui

Solo yo, estoy aqui
Sigo aqui
Sigo aqui
