She says she hates me and not to call   She's used her pain to build a concrete wall   She's rolled her angry words into a fist   But that's not who she is, that's not who she is      I slammed the phone down hard and walked outside   I wrote her off that day as if she'd died   I said if she burns in hell, well, I won't give a damn   But that's not who I am, that's not who I am      Lost behind the masks we wear   The barbed wire fences of our fear   We drag each other through these tears   And strike the wounds that scar   But that's not who we are, that's not who we are      Some day I'll hold her, for this I pray   That time and grace will roll the stone away   And we'll love each other with open hearts   Just for who we are, just for who we are      A mother who gave all she could   A child who tried to just be good   In father, brother, sisterhood, we reach and fall so far   Like dust of ancient stars, that's just who we are   Dust of ancient stars, that's just who we are
