Why Am I Me?
Tell you what I'm thinkin'
Honestly and true
How come I come to life as me
And not to life as you?
Lord, I know the feelin'
'Cause when I'm by myself
I wonder why I'm who I am
And not somebody else
Way down underneath it all
Where no one gets to see
I'll bet it feels no different
Bein' you or bein' me
Why was I born when I was born?
Who I was born to be
Why was I given the body I'm livin' in?
Why am I Gabriel?
Why am I Anderson?
Why am I me, why am I me, why am I me?
Why am I here?
Why am I now?
Why am I who you see?
Why was I handed the person I landed in?
Why am I Gabriel?
Why am I Anderson?
Why am I me, why am I me, why am I me?
I figure somebody puts the "who" in the folks
Like droppin' a stone in a lake
So maybe I'm thinkin' I'm Abraham Lincoln
And somebody made a mistake
If I were born
Somebody else
Betcha I still would be me
So many beings I know I could be me in
Why must I be in the being you see me in?
Why am I Gabriel?
Why am I Anderson?
Why am I me, why am I me, why am I me
Why am I me, why am I me, why am I me?
Honestly and true
How come I come to life as me
And not to life as you?
Lord, I know the feelin'
'Cause when I'm by myself
I wonder why I'm who I am
And not somebody else
Way down underneath it all
Where no one gets to see
I'll bet it feels no different
Bein' you or bein' me
Why was I born when I was born?
Who I was born to be
Why was I given the body I'm livin' in?
Why am I Gabriel?
Why am I Anderson?
Why am I me, why am I me, why am I me?
Why am I here?
Why am I now?
Why am I who you see?
Why was I handed the person I landed in?
Why am I Gabriel?
Why am I Anderson?
Why am I me, why am I me, why am I me?
I figure somebody puts the "who" in the folks
Like droppin' a stone in a lake
So maybe I'm thinkin' I'm Abraham Lincoln
And somebody made a mistake
If I were born
Somebody else
Betcha I still would be me
So many beings I know I could be me in
Why must I be in the being you see me in?
Why am I Gabriel?
Why am I Anderson?
Why am I me, why am I me, why am I me
Why am I me, why am I me, why am I me?
