It might scare me to death or chill my bones
break my heart or warm my soul
But since I'm here and before I go
I'm gonna find out who I am

Late one cold Thanksgiving night
They welcomed me another 60's child
To a family holding tight
It's a part of who I am Yeah

I got a mama who prays for me
She fights the devil down on her knees
I can't see all that Mama sees
But it's part of who I am

She gave me truth and she watched me grow
I tow the lines and I test the ropes
And I tried a little bit of everything I know
Just to find out who I am

Who I am
Does it matter anyway
Who I am
And what I've seen along the way
Who I am
It changes a little everyday
But with the light of truth and an open heart
I just want half a chance
As long as I'm here and before I go
I'm gonna find out who I am

Music is my soul's delight
It comes to me both day and night
and it gives me wings to give me flight
It's a part of who I am

I hold on to a simple faith
about the choices and the path I take
Though the good and the bad mistakes
I'm gonna find out who I am

Who I am
Does it matter anyway
Who I am
And what I've seen along the way
Who I am
It changes a little everyday
But with the light of truth and an open heart
I just want half a chance
As long as I'm here and before I go
I'm gonna find out who I am

And did it ever really matter
In the big forever clear
Who I am and what I'm here for
I don't know
Is it wrong to want an answer
To try to understand

Who I am
Does it matter anyway
Who I am
And what I've learned along the way
Who I am
It changes a little everyday
But with the light of truth and an open heart
I just want half a chance
As long as I'm here and before I go
I'm gonna find out who I am
Who I am
