This Is Who You Are

Sometimes
Slowly
Time brings revelation.

Waiting
Softly
For someone to believe.

That the ghosts we've hidden or left to die
Have now arisen and will arrive
To say what has happened
Say what has happened
Say what has happened
To me.

And who would have thought
That you'd be the one
That i would have found here waiting.

Lost in this night
Until you arrived
And always too blind to see.

And who would have thought
That after this time
That i'd be the one you're saving.

Now undisguised
The ghosts that survive
Now say what was meant to be.

I never wanted to give my life away
Who ever thought it would matter any way.

Wandering inside this night
Finding pieces of a life
Never sure i'd ever know what it means.

It's the strangers in your life
That you'd never thought you'd meet
It's the hand that picked you up
When you're laying in the street.

It's the hand that cut you down
It's the dream that someone shared
When you thought that all was lost
It's the friend that wasn't there.

You can run from all the memory
But never get that far
For in the end they'll find you
For this is who you are.

Change one note
Change one line
Nothing's going to be the same
Change one loss
Change one cut
Everything is re-arranged.

Every act
Cruel or kind
Lost inside our memory
If you look
There in time.

You'll find it in
Find it in
Find it in
You'll find it in me.
