I'm Still Here

" I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme) " is a song written by The Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik for Disney 's animated film Treasure Planet. The song was released by Rzeznik as a single away from The Goo Goo Dolls. It was a moderately successful pop hit.

John Rzeznik was picked to write the song for the movie because it was believed he could relate well with Treasure Planet's main character, Jim, and his "rebel-with-a-cause angst". Referring to Jim, Rzeznik said, "It was easy to relate to Jim, you know? I felt a lot like that when I was his age."

"I'm Still Here" is one of two songs on the Treasure Planet soundtrack performed by Rzeznik; the other being "Always Know Where You Are". The song was sung by Rzeznik during the film, but performed by BBMak on the soundtrack.

Lyrics
I am a question to the world Not an answer to be heard

Or a moment that's held in your arms

And what do you think you'd ever say

I won't listen anywayYou don't know me

And I'll never be what you want

Me to be And what

Do you think you'd understand

I'm boy, no, I'm a man

You can't take me

And throw me away

And how

Can you learn what's never shown

Yeah, you stand here on your own

They don't know me'

Cause I'm not here

And I want a moment to be real

Want to touch things I don't feel

Wanna hold on and feel I belong And how can the world want me to change

They're the ones that stay the same

They don't know me'

Cause I'm not here And you see the things they never see

All you wanted

I could be

Now you know me

And I'm not afraid And I want to tell you who I am

Can you help me be a man

They can't break me

As long as I know who I am

And how can the world want me to change

They're the ones that stay the same

They can't see me

But I'm still here They can't tell me who to be'

Cause

I'm not what they see

Yeah, the world is still sleepin' while I keep on dreaming for me

And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe

And how can you say I'll never change

They're the ones that stay the same

I'm the one now'

Cause I'm still here I'm the one'

Cause I'm still here

I'm still here

I'm still here

I'm still here
