Who Am I

Who am I when the world tells me I'm not enough
Who am I when the world tells me who I should be
Who am I in the mist and the fog of the sound
Of the voices that never let up
Who am I? Tell me, I need to know

Where should I stand
Where should I stand when they try to drag me down
How should I pray
Give me the words to say
Where should I kneel
So when the waves come I don't get beaten and broken
And torn apart to drift
Tell me, I need to know
Won't you tell me, I need to know

Who am I
Who am I
(Who am I)
When the people around me start fighting
And suddenly I'm forced to pick a side
(Who am I)
When the right and the left tear each other apart
And I'm left in the middle
(Who am I)
When we're tossing and turning and flying
And standing still all at once
(Who am I)
When the push comes to shove and I'm out in the world
And I feel all alone
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I

(Who am I)
(Who am I)

You are my child in whom I'm well pleased
Lay your worries at my feet, give everything to me
I am you rock in the middle of all the waves
I'm your lighthouse in the distance, but I'm never far away

So stand here with me when the raging is too strong to bear
Just look at me, seek me with all of your heart
There's nothing to be worried about
(About, about, about)
I have you in the palm of my hand
(Have you in the palm of my hand)

So as you soar above the mountains, above all the mist
Remember what I told you before your mother's kiss
That I know you
(I know you)
I know your name
(I know your name)
And all of your days
(And all of your days)
And all of your pain
(And all of your pain)
And all of your shame
Give it to me
