They all tell me to be myself
But I don't know who that is anymore.
The girl I once was is long gone,
and who I am now, I'm not really sure.
I look in the mirror and see a face
that looks nothing like I thought it would.
My light has diminished and faded to gray...
life didn't turn out the way I thought it should.
I scream at the top of my lungs
but I hold my breath and remain silent still.
Won't someone take the time to find me?
Just to understand the complexity of what is real?
"To thine own self be true,"
And this is who I have become.
Sitting in silence trying to remember my name,
feeling nothing, emotionally numb.
What if for a moment I set myself free,
and allowed my heart to truly feel?
If I let go of my inhibitions for a moment,
and allowed old wounds to heal?
Who would I be if I could let my guard down?
If I believed no one would ever walk away again?
If my fears turned to dust and my tears to rust,
in the Secret Garden where You've always been?
Take me away, My Love. I've not forgotten You.
Mortal man does not compare to my King.
Mend my broken heart, I lay it all before You.
Hide me in the Shadow of Your Wing.
In Your Presence, so long ago...
I used to bask in your Son.
Now my memory has faded to gray,
am I still Your chosen one?
Tell me who I am again... tell me who to be!
Am I still the Daughter of Zion, Your princess, the apple of Your eye?
Reach me in the depths of this valley so dark, so deep,
and raise me up with You to the highest heights of Your sky.
Let this world before me shrivel,
Let all my words turn to dust this day.
Take me in Your arms and tell me who I am,
and leave this world faded to gray.
