I'm Already There (song)
"I'm Already There" is a song recorded by American country music band Lonestar, written by lead singer Richie McDonald along with Gary Baker and Frank J. Myers. It was released in March 2001 as the lead-off single to the album of the same name. It spent six weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The song was the band's seventh Number One.
Content
The song's narrator is a man who is on the road, and the lyric explains how he feels and how his family is responding to his absence. This also explains how much the man loves his family, and how much they mean to him. He then says that he will always be there for them in spirit, even though he is separated from them physically. The song became associated with the September 11, 2001 attacks along with family members being deployed and returning from deployment, and has been heard many times on Good Morning America.
On their 2003 greatest-hits package From There to Here: Greatest Hits, Lonestar included a "Message from Home" version which included dubbed-in telephone calls placed by family members of soldiers. This version also omits the line "And I'll gently kiss your lips / Touch you with my fingertips" from the second verse.

ALREADY THERE
by: Gil OfarimThis message goes out to you
Can you feel the way we move
Into a sweet intoxication
All this separation – it’s enough hesitation,
Do I care? – I’m already there!
It’s your last chance to run and hide.
Coz’ it gets you from deep inside.
Straight to your heart,
Into your soul,
Into the essence of it all.
I’m already there, already.
Caught in the middle of the scene
Can you separate the truth from what you really need.
Your fascination all this separation –
It’s enough hesitation,
Do I care? – I’m already there!
