(December 15, 2023) “I Am Here,” the new song by Emerald Lian, is a declaration of independence and presence. The song’s title lets listeners know that Lian is no longer content to make herself small so that other people will feel comfortable. That is something many women felt pressure to do.
By declaring her presence on “I Am Here,” Emerald Lian also breaks free from people who used hurtful words and actions to make her feel unworthy and fill her with doubt. The song stands as her announcement that she will rise despite the circumstances and people that conspire to keep her grounded.
The singer/songwriter says that the sentiments expressed in the lyrics are deeply personal and reflect how she overcame the hurts inflicted by people she believed cared for her. “Despite their hurtful words, I found strength to recognize my worth. I realized I am important and here on this earth for a divine purpose.”
Lian knows that is a universal quality to her experience and many listeners will hear the song, listen to the lyrics and know that they are embarking on or have completed the same journey of independence and self-discovery. Check out “I Am Here,” Emerald Lian’s anthem of presence.
