Identity
Dancing in circles
living in shades of gray, shades of gray
got so tired I went to the bathroom and stopped to pray
I felt so weak and tired as time just passed away
as I wasted my life away
with every boring day
more life just faded away
as my identity slowly died away
Who am I?
I've become so self-contained
I've been searching my mind all day
and trying to find
who I really am inside
I had so many false identities
who I really am is a mystery
Yeah I lied but I tried
evaluating each one to figure out which one was the real me
almost like who I was
was deleted from my memory
eliminating me one by one
til I figured out which was the right one
so many false identities just trying to find the real me
when my mind was a whirlwind of lies it was kind hard to find the real me inside
Who am I?
Where have I been?
It felt like I just didnt fit in
at school I never felt cool
when at school the dean asked me where's your ID
I replied I don't know
maybe its in my locker
I tried to open it but i didn't have the key
or the correct combination to unlock my personality
I cried God please find me
because I can't find my ID
and you're the only one who has the key
to unlock me and set me free
God show me my real identity
Not some fake ID that someone else gave to me
I'm tired of thinking everyone's staring at me
watching and finding someway to criticize and make fun of me
but that's just me being paranoid and insecure
Because I don't want to get hurt the way I did before
God I wish I could see what you see in me
tired of carrying around fake ID's
based off of lies the enemy told me
Who am I?
I tried to fight
to believe in what's right
I tried to hide when he attacked me with new lies
but I didn't know the truth
so vulnerable I fell victim to his lies
I cried when the enemy lied
because I believed him when he said I wasn't good enough
angry and afraid I tried to be tough
I ripped my own heart out
and beat it til it was numb
so I couldn't feel the pain
when the enemy came
to steal my identity away
Who am I?
God I wish I could see what you see in me
tired of chasing dreams when I know
you have better in store for me
im tired of carrying around fake ID's
based off of lies the enemy told me
when I looked in the mirror my reflection was all a blur to me
but one day God showed me that I am not a flaw
I am not an error'
time to take off the wig that doesn't match the color of my skin
and these oversized false eyelashes fluttering in the wind
it was an ugly false identity
alternative to who God created me to be
Who am I?
Loud or quiet?
Am I really all over the place?
or just crazy?
Confident not confused is who I'm meant to be
It doesn't matter what the world thinks
what matters is how you see yourself
test the waters and be yourself
learn to love others and respect yourself
Who am I?
I am a child of the most high God
who delivered me and set me free
God not only gave me an identity but a destiny
So I can be all that he made me to be
the unique individual God made me
Who are you?
