I was somebody else not that long ago
Today I am someone who is brand new
Who are you?

Are you holding a grudge that barks at your ego?
Do you criticize because you have expectations?
Do you make mistakes yet seek forgiveness in yourself?
I guarantee--
You are human like me

I guarantee you can point the finger
Yet the mirror holds a stranger you see everyday
I bet you have burdens and shame on your conscious
With secrets in the form of tears that fall down like rain

I bet you a dollar there are some things you wish you hadn't done
And friendships you've burned because fighting wasn't worth it
I bet you you've said some mean words once or twice
And sometimes it's just to painful for you to be nice

But who are you to hold grudges when you've done so much wrong?
Who are you to point fingers, when the monster is you?
Do you wish for forgiveness but can't give in return?
When will you be willing to learn?

Who are you?
Resentful, angry... broken?
Or are you brand new, like me?
