Who I Am

If I were a lonely boy
would you take me by the hand
Walk a mile with me
until I’m a man
Would you leave me standing all alone
on the road
with a sign in my hand
‘til you decide – who I am

I was just standing in the street
thought everything was planned
Didn’t have a thing to do
imagine me misunderstanding you
In a dream, it’s true
you know it’s time to go
Stick around if you can
‘til you decide who I am

Who I am it falls apart from me
Identity mistaken on a
distant shore of destiny
in a tidal wave of such heartbreaking
lies, disguised in time, as disenchantment
I’ve been a fool for lesser things

What it was and what it is
ain't ever what we think it ought to be
There’s a blinding light
behind our lies and our hypocrisy
It’s true
It only goes to show
that you cannot make a stand
‘til you decide – who I am

Who I am
I’m walking through the alley
just so I can reach the street
Who I am
I’m walking through the valley
just so I can reach the peak
Who I am
I’m walking with the rich
just so I can see how the poor live
Who I am
I’m walking with the poor
just so I can see how the rich don’t
give a damn

Who I am it falls apart from me
Identity mistaken on a
distant shore of destiny
in a tidal wave of such heartbreaking
lies, disguised in time, as disenchantment
I’ve been a fool for lesser things
