What You Are
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sittin' here thinkin' about
What I got to do
Sittin' here tryin' to think
Where do my talents lie
Yes I'm sittin' here thinkin'
What am I supposed to be
What does it mean that I'm livin'
What will it mean when I die
And how about you there
Do you know what you are
No matter who you are there
You must get the point
I came to ask you
Just who you think you are
