I Am

[Verse] From shadows I quietly grew. Little whispers only I knew. In a crowd I found my space, solitude my saving grace. [Verse 2] Books and thoughts my only friends. Dreams with no start but no end. Grades were low but mind was high. Wings unfurled I learned to fly. [Chorus] From being young I vanished too. I made my grade in subjects few. Though what I am is not a kind since that affair I never mind. [Bridge] Rainy days and empty halls. Silent echoes in the walls. Found a world in closed-eye view where my spirit freely flew. [Verse 3] Paths untrodden beckoned me. Silent journeys wild and free. Love and faith within my heart created art from every part. [Verse 4] And now I see, now I know, seeds of who I am will grow. Everything that's left behind gave me strength, gave me mind.
