Who You Are Lyrics

Who You Are lyrics

I was certain that I knew You
At the tender age of twelve
You'd so often
been described by those
Who said they knew You well
Dark and rugged in
Your thirties
With a smile as bright as Your robe
Every teacher, every
preacher
With the very best intent
Found new ways to hide the
mystery
Replaced by common sense
And to know You was to keep You in my
pocket
So easy to hold
I know I can't explain you
I would not even try
to
Ad yet it's clear that You are here beside me
I marvel and I
wonder
So near and somehow still so far
What makes You who You are?
It
is easy to insist
On what is packaged and precise
And dismiss the clear
suspicion
That You're bigger than we'd like
It is tempting to regard You
as familiar
In so many ways
I've tried to draw these lines around
You
A definition or an absolute
But I could not be satisfied with black
or white
There is so much more
There is so much You
