Here I Am

Kata-kata ini diucapkan temanku saat perkenalan dengan seluruh staff gloria. Aku menyukai kata-kata ini. Begitu dalam dan bermakna. Terima aku apa adanya, aku masih memiliki berpuluh-puluh kekurangan, dan jika beberapa kali aku gagal, beberapa sifatku yang mengusikmu, tolong maafkan aku. Jangan biarkan aku seadanya, jika ada kekurangan dalam diriku, jika yang kulakukan menyakiti hatimu, tegurlah aku.

Terimalah aku apa adanya, tapi jangan  biarkan aku seadanya. Aku manusia yang lemah, wajar jika sesekali aku gagal. Tolong jangan hukum aku jika aku gagal, jangan hakimi aku, berilah aku dukungan di saat aku lemah, tapi jangan biarkan aku terlena dalam kelemahanku. Topanglah aku bila perlu, tapi jangan biarkan aku terus-terusan bersandar.

Jadi, saat ini aku ingin berucap pada teman-temanku, terimalah aku apa adanya, tapi jangan biarkan aku seadanya.

Verse 1:
As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
‘Til the end of time, forever
You’re the only love I’ll need
In my life, you’re all that matters
In my eyes, the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You’re the one that’s there for me

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you

Chorus:
Imagine me without you
I’d be lost and so confused
I wouldn’t last a day
I’d be afraid without you there to see me through
Imagine me without you
Lord, you know it’s just impossible
Because of you
It’s all brand new
My life is now worth while
I can’t imagine me without you

Verse 2:
When you caught me I was falling
Your love lifted me back on my feet
It was like you heard my calling
And you rushed to set me free

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you

Chorus

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you

Chorus

I can’t imagine me without you

I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero’s welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I’m meant to be

I’ll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I’ll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though the road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime
But somehow I’ll see it through

And I won’t look back
I can go the distance
And I’ll stay on track
No I won’t accept defeat
It’s an uphill slope
But I won’t lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero’s strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star
I can go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don’t care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero’s welcome
Waiting in your arms…

I will search the world
I will face its harms
Till I find my hero’s welcome
Waiting in your arms…
