Who I Am

I need to be someone who's a lot like you
Easy to see that I sure need something new
Though I try to live life my way
I think it goes to prove
That I need to be someone who's like you

And I know that you want to change me
Wanna rearrange the way I feel inside
And I've heard that you take
The broken hearts of lonely souls
And you make all things right

But you know who I am

Mmm…oh…ho…

Some people never recognize it

Though it’s right before their eyes and shines in all

its glory

They never ever see

They choose something that looks just like it

And it may glitter for the time, but gold it’ll never

be

I guess you never held on to quality

Or you woulda recognized by now

Something so special, so true

Well I know you hate my drinkin'
And the way I talk sometimes
But you hate it most when I don't call at night

And it's just because you love me
And you worry 'bout your man
You do the best you can with who I am

Burnin' both ends of a candle
Can leave one in the dark
And I know what I put you through
Is hard upon your heart
And it's just that you're concerned for me

[CHORUS:]
Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
'Cause this experience made me
Who I am

[VERSE 1:]
I tried to make me love ya
I tried to make me stay
But everytime I tried
Myself and I got in the way
Just for the sake of my daughter
I tried to stick to the plan

(Tom Hemby/Amy Grant)

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 that's holding tight
That's part of who I am, yeah

I got a mama who prays for me
She fights the devil down on her knees
