who i am...    
     
I wrote the music to this song while I vacationed, with my family, at the beach in Destin, FL.  My mother, during our time together, shared some thoughts she had written.  Those inspired words, along with some heavy thinking I was involved in regarding "being transparent", came together just when the music started to take shape.  It was one of those times when all the pieces came together at the right time & in the right place.  Thanks mom.

If I had a window in my mind

And I forgot to close the blinds

All my thoughts without their clothes

Would expose me

 

Then all the people who stood outside

That little window in my mind

They would say my life was just a lie

And disown me

 

Then I might sit and cry awhile

But through my tears would bloom a smile

When I see I'm all alone

And that I'm free

 

To let the light inside

Illuminate my life

It's been a long time since I've seen

The sun shine

 

Let the sun rain down on me

Drench my thoughts and set me free

Then All my doubts and fears will be set free

If I know who I am

 

And in the darkness of my mind

It's really hard to find

The little shinny stone, the good times

That you gave me

 

I used to look at them all night

They would brighten up my life

But now they're lost somewhere

Deep down my mind                                                    photo by robert josiah

Let the sun rain down on me

Drench my thoughts and set me free

Then All my good times will shine back at me

If I know who I am

If I could learn to just let go

Of all the things that have a hold on me

If I could only clear my eyes

Then I might just realize

Who I am, Who I am
