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
