I Know Who I Am

They say you never see it coming

All the tiny little breaks

But somewhere out beyond no reason

You keep on giving what it takes

I never thought of running

I was busy carrying a load

Had the strength enough to take it

But not enough to let it go

It's a long time coming down a broken road

And finally I can feel without fearing

Cry without the pain

Stand up and love me

Or without any shame

It might have been a rough way to learn it

And a hard place to land

But the one thing I'm sure of now

Is I know who I am

Now, if somebody whould have told me

There was a better place to be

In my quiet desparation

It was to hard to belief

I guess you gotta know the distance

To know just when enough is enough

Now let nobody take it from me

'Cause I know what I'm made of

And there's nothing I can rise above

And finally I can feel without fearing

Cry without the pain

Stand up and love me

Or without any shame

It might have been a rough way to learn it

And a hard place to land

But the one thing I'm sure of now

Is I know who I am

I am a woman whose worth it

I am a woman deserving whatever it is

I can take it whatever it takes

I can make it, yeah

And finally I can feel without fearing

Cry without the pain

Stand up and love me

Or without any shame

It might have been a rough way to learn it

And a hard place to land

But the one thing I'm sure of now

Oh, and I absolutly have no doubt

Yeah, I know who I am

Yeah, I know who I am

I know
