歌词
Who am I?
What do I like?
What do I value?
Who am I?
Besides a friend,
A coworker,
A daughter?
Who am I when no one is watching?
When the sun retires
And the moon comes out to play.
Who am I
Without myself in the way?
Without fear.
Without worry.
Who am I to decipher right from wrong?
And who am I to tell you who you are
when I could never understand the full capacity of your mind.
Even if I tried.
That i know
Because you could never understand mine.
Who am I?
In this ever expanding universe.
So what if I died?
Who am I?
We all believe ourselves to be flawed.
I'm too fat.
I'm too skinny.
My skin isn't soft enough.
I don't make enough money.
I want a new car.
I want their relationship.
And the list goes on.
So much of this life is spent focused on comparing ourselves
To who and what we want.
The things we don't have are
Dangled above our heads
Inches out of reach
Strung by ropes we know as media.
In today's day and age
To be happy requires ignorance.
One must ignore the facades that are dangling above us
And choose to look where our feet are.
To acknowledge the simple perfection
Of the mundane that is in the present.
The sound of birds chirping.
The small, pleasant, interaction with a stranger.
A warm place to sleep.
The smell of hot food.
A conscious mind.
A body that supports that conscious mind.
To be granted another breath
Is in itself a moment of bliss
Bound by nothing and never guaranteed.
So when you are wrapped up in the facades
That are dangled above your head
Inches out of reach
Come back to bliss.
It costs you nothing
But the choice of ignorance.
