Who I Am Lyrics

From "Mad About You" Soundtrack
(Tom Hemby/Amy Grant)

Might scare me to death
Or chill my bones
Break my heart
Or warm my soul
But since I'm here and before I go�
I'm gonna find out who I am�

Late one cold Thanksgiving night�
They welcomed me, another 60's child�
To a family that's holding tight�
That's part of who I am, yeah�

I got a mama who prays for me�
She fights the devil down on her knees�
I can't see all that mama sees�
But it's part of who I am�

She gave me truth and she watched me grow�
I told her lines and I test the rope�
Then I tried a little bit of everything I know�
Just to find out who I am�

Who I am�
Does it matter anyway
Who I am�
What I've seen along the way�
Who I am�
Changes a little everyday�
With a lot of truth�
And an open heart�
I just want half a chance�
As long as I'm here and before I go�
Just to find out who I am

Music is my soul's delight�
Comes to me both day and night�
It gives me wings and it gives me flight�
And it's part of who I am�

I hold onto a simple faith�
About the choices and the path I take�
That through the good and the bad mistakes�
I'm gonna find out, yeah�

Who I am�
Does it matter anyway
Who I am�
What I've lost along the way�
Who I am�
It changes a little everyday�
With a lot of truth�
And an open heart�
I just want half a chance�
As long as I'm here and before I go�
Just to find out�

Did it ever really matter�
In that big forever plan�
Who I am and what I'm here for I don't know�
Is it wrong to want an answer
Try to understand�

Who I am�
Does it matter anyway
Who I am�
What I've learned along the way�
Who I am�
It changes a little everyday�
With a lot of truth�
And an open heart�
I just want half a chance�
As long as I'm here and before I go�
Just to find out�
Who I am

Who I am
