about

“Who I am” is about naming those unspoken fears that make us who we are, embracing them, and pushing past them. I know that I am not alone in this story, and I hope you discover that too.

lyrics

Who I Am

Did you know I’m scared of my guitar
No one ever told me it would be this hard
To sing the words that I write down
And face the folks in my small town
Start this road the runs for years
Fight the failure, fight the fear
Try to fill an empty bar
If what you do, is who you are

Who I am is black and blue
Who I am will push on through
Who I am…
Is what I’m scared to do

Well did you know I’m scared to fall in love
No one ever told me it would be this tough
To give it up to just one man
And trust that I would get love back
Settle in and take walls down
Wear my momma’s wedding gown
Well once it almost got that far
If what you do is who you are

Who I am is black and blue
Who I am will push on through
Who I am…
Who I am is black and blue
Who I am is just like you
Who I am…
Is what I’m scared to do

Did you know I’m scared of my mother
No one ever told me I would be just like her
I’d sacrifice all my plans
To hold the world in just one hand
See my light through my children's eyes
let them grow and watch them fly
Give my love with all my heart
Well what you do is who you are

And who I am is black and blue
Who I am will push on through
Who I am…
Who I am is black and blue
Who I am is just like you
Who I am...
Is what I’m scared to do
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
That’s who I am
