Jayme performs as a soloist and with a group of fabulous backing musicians from Milwaukee under the same name.

Here I Go Song Bio

 shattercdcover.jpgLast summer I traveled to Seattle to meet my producer and get a feel for the studio that I would be staying at for two months. As I got on the plane to return home, this idea for a song about new beginnings and an exciting journey popped into my head. I brought this little snippet of a tune to the table when we started pre-production work for the CD, very raw and rough, but we knew it had to be included on the disc. In order to complete the song, I spent several days sitting on the beach, overlooking the Puget Sound, contemplating what I was doing with my life and how my whole world was going to change with the release of my new CD. The lyrics evolved from there and “Here I Go” was born. This song truly embodies my recording experience and the change that took place inside of me. It is a song about having courage and strength to accomplish your goals. It’s about the unknown and the possibility of greatness. Most importantly, this song represents that moment where you realize that everything you’ve dreamed of is coming true.                                                     -Jayme Dawicki

Here I Go Lyrics

Oh with an oceanview

And a skyline that sings to you

Come on – I’ve been waiting so long

Bright eyes like a child

Exploring the world so wild

Come on – Oh come on

Are you ready, ready for your life to change

Ready, are you ready for a change

Here I go, Here I go

Oh with my hand stretched high

Everything feels right this time

Come on – I’ve been waiting so long

I’m miles from home

Standing like I’ve somehow grown

Come on – Oh come on

Are you ready, ready for your life to change

Ready, for you ready for a change

Here I go, Here I go

Here I go, Here I go

Stop and breathe

Just take in the scene

    This song to me talks about enjoying the beauty and wonder of the world while also confidentally starting a new chapter in life and being excited for the change.

  • Callie b.

    This song reminds that you only have one life, a simple mundane and common truth… To rejoice life every new day and see what happens on the beautiful road. Perhaps every new day brings new changes, or even a big event in your life.

    Here I go…. Letting go of the past and enkindling new life… the present moment.

    This reminds me of when you run into a large body of water like a little child, searching for that freedom and truth.

  • Marie

    Sounds like a girl ready and willing to take a leap into a new chapter of her life.

  • http://www.fscc-calledtobe.org Sister Julie Ann

    Thanks, Katie and Marie. A new chapter implies the freedom to live without coercion or contraint. May the Lord bless you with happiness and the freedom needed to seek the will of God.

  • Kara

    I loved the song, because it represents what my life is like right now. “Here I Go”…my life is changing. I am becoming a Sister. Here I go, I trust in the Lord.

  • Carolyn

    Change is exciting; embrace it. Everything happens for a reason. God knows.

  • Irene

    Do not be afraid of change.

  • http://www.fscc-calledtobe.org Sister Julie Ann

    Irene, you are so right. Join your words with that of St. Bonaventure “No one can be made happy, unless he or she rises above oneself by an ascent of the heart. But we cannot rise above ourselves unless a higher power lifts us up.” Here we all go with the strength of each other.

  • Juliana Martin

    I think this song mean when she says “Here I Go” she is giving her life to God. She is dedicating her life to God.

  • Emily Biese

    the song is inspirational. she sang what she felt.

  • alyssa

    i think that this song is really deep and it says a lot about what this person is feeling towards life. I also think when she says “here i go” i think she’s saying that shes going to make a change in her life or in the world but no matter what she’s going to do she’s going to make a change.

    It sounded like you are there. It gives me a picture of life outside of my life. You should not be afraid of a change.

  • Karina

    Um….well this song has many meanings, however, one meaning to me is to not be afraid to explore the world because God is always with you, protecting you and watching you. This song is symbolic to a baby bird thats not ready to fly, but when he sees his mom and brothers flying, it lets itself go and follow his family to where ever they may go.

  • Kara Martin

    This song represents how I am feeling right now in this time of transition in my life. I am putting my trust in God and literally saying, “Here I go…” It’s always nice to find a song that expresses how one is feeling.

  • Selene

  • ana

    this song means a new beggining for me. it starts with a verse tha makes you feel as if youve woken up for a brand new day, a fresh start.. she says “here i go” as if she was starting something new and telling everybody “here i go”, so everybody can get ready for her success… i think its a very wonderful song and it makes me feel like starting anew.

    This song shows me that the world is a wonderful place. All you have to do is accept the change and challenge. “Here I go” is all about accepting change so that we can reach new heights.Everything around you is quiet and calm when you here this song. I’m very glad I could listen to this song.

  • Kirstin Duprey

    The song means to me that we have to take a chance at everything we do, otherwise we’ll never be able to get enything accomplished in life. We need to be able to make changes in order to succeed at everything we do. You need to trust that no matter what we do everything will be okay.

    What this song meant to me was that what ever I do I’m with God. It also meant that when I do things I should do it with God in my mind and heart, not to be afraid.

  • Kathryn

    The song has such a special meaning to me. I am a firm believer in daily Eucharist and weekly confession (although it doesn’t always happen, unfortunately!). The only way to change your life is through God’s love, grace, and mercy which is received through so many ways, but mainly through the sacraments. The part that stuck out so much to me was “being ready for your life to change” because each time I celebrate the love of God through confession, I say to Him, “Lord, this time change my heart”. I am so ready for a change! :)

  • pamela taiwo

    the song means to me that my life could /will be changing in a while and I’ll just go to GOD my FATHER and my BROTHER JESUS and live peacefuly for eternal life!

    The song made me think of how I could change my relationship with Christ to make it better, and if I would be prepared and ready to live the next day like He would want me to. It also made me think of how beautiful the world God created for us is (Oh with an ocenview/And skyline that sings to you)

  • Katie S.

    I think the song is about change and taking a leap into a new part of your life. It’s important to remember your faith. It was a really cool song. I like her voice.

  • natasha

    This song means to me that God has a plan for me in life and soon Im going to be ready. This song also is reminding me that i need to be ready when ever God calls or whatever his plans are for me. I trust in God.

  • Anna DeMeuse

    This song really makes me ponder about Our God’s wonderful creation and beauty he has blessed us with. He is so great to each and everyone of us. This song takes you on a journey with God. He will always lead us in the right direction, all we have to do is let him take the lead. God is just…AWESOME!Never stray from him and always trust in his mercy and healing grace.God is so good to all of us.

  • lamaia
