I Am Not Hiding
Kenny Loggins · Unimaginable Life [1997]
Busy dancin' across thin ice
Then lookin' up
I thought somebody
Called my name
But I kept on walkin' on down
On my own way
I was livin' but not enough
Turnin' my face
From the face of love
Then lookin' up
I'm certain I saw your eyes
And I don't know how
And I don't know why
But I know I'm home
I am not hidin'
This time I'm decidin'
Now I'm showin' up
To give it all my love
I am not hiding
Oh I'm standin' here
Shoutin' out to Heaven
Runnin' no more
Freedom was overdue
I was starvin' for a dream
And the dream was you
Then lookin' up
Big love was pourin' down
And I don't know how
And I don't know why
But I know I'm home
I am not hidin'
This time I'm decidin'
Now I'm showin' up
To give it all my love
I am not hiding
Oh I'm standin' here
Shoutin' out to Heaven
Runnin' no more
The dream of love was more
Than I could have
I'd almost given it up
But darlin' now I'm back
I am here, you are real
This time I'm learnin' to feel
I have found paradise
Showin' up in your eyes
Shoutin' out to Heaven
Runnin' no more
This is all I know
No more sad goodbyes
Kiss it all hello
Showin' up for my life
This is all I know
No more sad goodbyes
Kiss it all hello
Showin' up for my life
Oh, love is what it's all about
You gotta go in to get out
For once in my life
I've found my home
Home in your arms, darlin'
All I know is that I'm finally home
Strong enough to see the truth
You gotta go in to get out
I am not hidin'
This time I'm decidin'
Now I'm showin' up
To give it all my love
I am not hidin'
Oh I'm standin' here
Shoutin' out to Heaven
Runnin' no more
I am not hidin'
This time I'm decidin'
Now I'm showin' up
To give it all my love
I am not hidin'
Oh I'm standin' here
Shoutin' out to Heaven
Runnin' no more
I am not hidin'
This time I'm decidin'
Now I'm showin' up
To give it all my love
I am not hidin'
