Who I Am

Might scare me to death or chill my bones
Break my heart or warm my soul
But since I'm here and before I go
I'm gonna find out who I am

Late one cold thanksgiving night
They welcomed me, another 60's child
To a family that's holding tight
That's part of who I am, yeah

I got a mama who prays for me
She fights the devil down on her knees
I can't see all that mama sees
But it's part of who I am

She gave me truth and she watched me grow
I told her lines and I test the rope
Then I tried a little bit of everything I know
Just to find out who I am

Who I am, does it matter anyway
Who I am, what I've seen along the way
Who I am, changes a little everyday
With a lot of truth and an open heart

I just want half a chance
As long as I'm here and before I go
Just to find out who I am

Music is my soul's delight
Comes to me both day and night
It gives me wings and it gives me flight
And it's part of who I am

I hold onto a simple faith
About the choices and the path I take
That through the good and the bad mistakes
I'm gonna find out, yeah

Who I am, does it matter anyway
Who I am, what I've lost along the way
Who I am, it changes a little everyday
With a lot of truth and an open heart

I just want half a chance
As long as I'm here and before I go
Just to find out

Did it ever really matter in that big forever plan
Who I am and what I'm here for I don't know
Is it wrong to want an answer, try to understand

Who I am, does it matter anyway
Who I am, what I've learned along the way
Who I am, it changes a little everyday
With a lot of truth and an open heart

I just want half a chance
As long as I'm here and before I go
Just to find out who I am, who I am
