there i am

Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-waaah Sha-na-na-na, who am I? Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-waaah Sha-na-na-na, who am I? Looked in the mirror, didn't recognize the face Asked every stranger, searched every place Read all the books, climbed every hill But the answer kept hiding, hiding still Ooh-wah, ooh-wah Asked the stars above, what's my name? Asked the fire, asked the flame Echo came back through the night Said stop looking out, look inside And then I heard it, sha-la-la A voice so small, sha-la-la Been there all along Singing my song There I am! Bop-bop, sha-na-na! Right where I've always been! There I am! Doo-wop-doo! Found myself again! Not in the stars, not in the sea The answer was inside of me! There I am! Sha-boom, sha-boom! Finally free! Every scar tells a story I wrote Every tear was a message, a note Every laugh and every cry Was me learning how to fly I am the question, doo-wop I am the answer too, sha-na-na I am the seeker, ooh-wah And everything I'm seeking through There I am! Been here from the start! There I am! Living in my heart! The mirror finally shows what's true I was always me, and me is you! There I am! Doo-wop, doo-wop, there I am Sha-na-na-na, there I am
