Im Here (From The Color Purple Musical)

I DONT NEED YOU TO LOVE ME,
I DONT NEED YOU TO LOVE.
I GOT . . .
I GOT . . .
I GOT MY SISTER.
I CAN FEEL HER NOW ,
SHE MAY NOT BE HERE, BUT SHE STILL MINE.
I KNOW SHE STILL LOVE ME.
GOT MY CHILDREN.
I CANT HOLD THEM NOW,
THEY MAY NOT BE HERE, BUT THEY STILL MINE.
I HOPE THEY KNOW I STILL LOVE THEM.
GOT MY HOUSE.
IT STILL KEEP THE COLD OUT.
GOT MY CHAIR
WHEN MY BODY CANT HOLD OUT.
GOT MY HANDS
DOIN GOOD LIKE THEY SPOSE TO,
SHOWIN MY HEART
TO THE FOLKS THAT IM CLOSE TO.
GOT MY EYES.
THOUGH THEY DONT SEE AS FAR NOW ,
THEY SEE MORE BOUT HOW THINGS
REALLY ARE NOW . . .
IM GONNA TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
GONNA HOLD MY HEAD UP.
GONNA PUT MY SHOULDERS BACK,
AND LOOK YOU STRAIGHT IN THE EYE.
IM GONNA FLIRT WITH SOMEBODY
WHEN THEY WALK BY.
IM GONNA SING OUT . . .
SING OUT.
I BELIEVE I HAVE INSIDE OF ME
EVERYTHING THAT I NEED TO LIVE A BOUNTIFUL LIFE.
WITH ALL THE LOVE ALIVE IN ME
ILL STAND AS TALL AS THE TALLEST TREE.
AND IM
THANKFUL FOR EVERYDAY THAT IM GIVEN,
BOTH THE EASY AND HARD ONES IM LIVIN.
BUT MOST OF ALL
IM THANKFUL FOR
LOVING WHO I REALLY AM.
IM BEAUTIFUL.
YES, IM BEAUTIFUL,
AND IM HERE.
