Who Am I Who I Am


Suddenly Things Change

Suddenly I am not the kid I was before

Suddenly it all seems strange

Being an adult at 14

 

Who Am I if not a child

Am I an old Am I young

Growing up innocent and wild

Now I Am Who I Am

 

I believed it was Love

Far too foolish and trusting

Too blind to get out of

Before it was too late

 

Who I Am was gone

I thought I was trapped

There was no moving on

I was Who I was

 

Over time I grew

I know now the truth

How to fly and I flew

I Am Who I Am

Who I was is behind me
