Do you know who I am?
I am someone who wants to help you
I wonder what you think of me
At least during those times when you do
I could never explain myself
I’ve become a bird you watch fly away
But is it out of fear
Or is it only freedom that can never stay?

I will never drown to find myself
I’m as fascinated at what is above as is underneath
But if that is what it takes to find you
I will look inside shells where I can no longer breathe
I listened as life began hurting you
To feel so helpless while someone cries for relief
Is to know how a God came to be
When tears are all I have it is time for a greater belief

What is happening to us?
Every flag is being burned while our hearts divide
My anger is riding beside me
Maybe that is why what I do best is never decide
I wanted to promise you
But I decided to wait until the time was right
Nobody knows when that is
First they must decide between dark and light

Do you know who you are?
You are someone who helps peoples struggles
I see how you so want to be good
But your soft eyes can’t blink away all your troubles
We saw each other’s reflection
What was real was that we saw the same thing
We saw the emotion we carried
And we longed for what a kiss would finally bring
