Lyrics

Oh, say what you want to
Oh, do as you please
But you won’t get rid of us
You won’t get rid of me

Here I am for a reason
Here I am for a chance
Here I am facing demons
And here with them I dance

Here I am on the surface
Here I am in the deep
Yeah, I’m here for a purpose
Do you see what I see?

Here I am, I came to this land
And here I am, and now we chant
We chant, we say

Oh, say what you want to
Oh, do as you please
You won’t get rid of us
Won’t rid of me

(Nah, you won’t get rid of me)

Oh la da dee da da
Oh la da dee
You won’t get rid of us
Won’t get rid of me

Here I am for a reason
Here I am for peace
Here I am for completion
Following the dream

(Yeah, you know I’ve been doing me)

Here I am for the people
Here I am for the path
Yeah, I bring a new meaning
Shattering the past

Here I am, I came to this land
And here I am, and now we chant
We chant, we say

Oh, say what you want to
Oh, do as you please
You won’t get rid of us
Won’t rid of me

(Nah, you won’t get rid of me)

Oh la da dee da da
Oh la da dee, dee
You won’t get rid of us
Won’t get rid of me

Oh, say what you want to
Go on and do as you please
But you won’t get rid of us
And you won’t rid of
You won’t get rid of me
