I'm Here Lyrics & Tabs by Matilda the Musical Original Cast
I'm Here
guitar chords lyrics
At Night, the Escapologist's
daughter cried herself to sleep
alone in her room
The Escapologist knew nothing
of the Aunt's Wickedness
And his daughter never said a word
as she didn't want to add
to her father's pain
This only encouraged the woman
to greater cruelties
Untill one day, she exploded!
You are a USELESS, FILTHY, NASTY little creep!
And she beat her, and threw into
a dank, dark, dusty cellar.
Locked the door and went out.
And she beat her, and threw into
a dank, dark, dusty cellar.
Locked the door and went out.
But that day, the Escapologist happened
to come home early, and when he
heard the sound of his daughter's
tears, he smashed the door open!
'Don't cry, I am here little girl.
Please don't cry, dry your eyes,
wipe away your tears, little girl.
Forgive me, I didn't mean
to desert you.
Don't cry little girl, nothing
can hurt you, you've nothing to fear...
I'm here...'
Have I been so wrapped up in my grief for my wife,
that I have forgotten the one thing that mattered to us most
I love you so much my daughter,
I shall spent the rest of my life
making it up to you
we shall be together, forever...
Don't cry daddy
I'm alright daddy
Please don't cry, here
let me wip away your tears.
Daddy, forgive me
I didnb; t want to upset you
Please daddy don't cry
I'll be alright
with you by my side
I have nothing to fear
You're here...
Don't cry. (Don't cry daddy)
Please don't cry, I am here little girl
(I'm alright daddy)
Please don't cry (Please don't cry, here)
Dry your eyes (let me wip away your tears)
Little girl...
Forgive me (daddy forgive me)
I didn't mean to desert you
(I didn't want to upset you)
Please daddy don't cry (don't cry little girl)
I'll be alright with you by my side
(Nothing can hurt you)
You have nothing to fear
I'm here / You're here
But when the little girl fell asleep
The Acrobat's thoughts turned to the sister
and an almighty rage grew in his great heart!
THIS DEMON!
THIS VILLAN!
THIS MONSTER!
She has sullied the memory of my wife!
She has betrayed the trust of her own sister!
She has shown cruelty to the most precious reality of my marriage!
Bullying children is a game, is it?
Well let's see what this creature thinks
she can do when the wrath of a grown man stands before her!
But that was the last the little girl ever saw of her Father.
Because he never came home.
Ever again.
