Who I Am

This worlds like a mirror in front of me
Sometimes I dont recognize the face I see
Staring at eyes that don't seem mine
Like a stranger surrendered to time

Played so many roles on this big stage
Thinking I'd make a difference someday.
But the one thing I let slip through my hands
Was never really knowing who I am

I've been a brother a father a fighter and a lover
I've been a prisoner wandering this land
I've been forgiven and taken misled and mistaken
Not knowing who I am

I would only show what I'd want them to see
And hide the rest behind a shame inside of me
Never letting anybody in
To who I really was or where I've been

Can't recall where it all began
Somewhere between lost innocence
And becoming a man
Every scar was made by my own hands
Blaming everyone for not knowing who I am

I've been a brother a father a fighter and a lover
I've been a prisoner wandering this land
I've been forgiven and taken misled and mistaken
Not knowing who I am

I know there's not a way to do it all again
Just know where I'm going is not where I've been

I only hope the sands don't run out
Before I realize what I found out
That it was never part of the plan
Having to remember who I am

I am a brother a father
A fighter and a lover
I am free from wandering this land
I am forgiven and taken
To where my mistakes end
And knowing who I am
Knowing who I am
