I have been many people. I have been clueless, thoughtless and shoeless, I have been a dream spinner, have been a trophy winner. I have been sad and I have been lost, I have been made to pay the cost of all of the things I have found, have been the coin tossed to the ground. I have been broken and on my knees, have sang to the birds, listened to bees. I have been small and I have been weak, have been the rosy hue of my own cheek. I have been afraid of the world for so long, I have forgotten what it is to be strong, But I will always remember when she was me -          I have been a flower picker and a lover,          Been the angel under cover,          I have been hearth-fire and friend,          Hoped to be something to be proud of,      And in the end, I was. I will always remember And be proudest of When she was me.

Of the People I Have Been
I have been many people. I have been clueless, thoughtless and shoeless, I have been a dream spinner, have been a trophy winner. I have been sad and I have been lost, I have been made to pay the cost of all of the things I have found, have been the coin tossed to the ground. I have been broken and on my knees, have sang to the birds, listened to bees. I have been small and I have been weak, have been the rosy hue of my own cheek. I have been afraid of the world for so long, I have forgotten what it is to be strong, But I will always remember when she was me -          I have been a flower picker and a lover,          Been the angel under cover,          I have been hearth-fire and friend,          Hoped to be something to be proud of,      And in the end, I was. I will always remember And be proudest of When she was me.
