Who I Am Lyrics

When I was ten you taught me

To pray to the trees

Feel my toes in the dirt and

Breath in the salty breeze

You said that God knows best

And I want to believe

And who am I to stand up to fate anyway?

Now I'm out at sea

In need of rescuing

To place my little feet

On the long lost shore

Now I need you even more

At 20 years old you taught me

To think for myself

Isn't it better to question

Than anything else?

You said Creator knows best

And I want to believe

And who am I to stand up to fate anyway?

Because if you leave

Or my strength recedes

Or the sickness we now meet

Comes knocking down your door

Now I need you even more

Who am I to stand up to fate anyway?

I am who you made me

And I will defy constellations

Cancer and them all

Every fiber of being

Reminding me I am small

Everything out of control

The world spinning madly around me

But I am now who you made me

Standing up to fate anyway

But if you don't return

And leave me to my turn

I'll keep these lessons learned

To stand up for what I know

Now I feel you ever more
