[Verse] What is it that makes me me? Is it my brain, my behaviors, my body? Is it the love I give or the hate I dish out? Is it when I’m tender and gentle, or when I shout? [Refrain] Why don’t you take a minute to stop and think? Who do you think I am? [Verse 2] What is it that makes me me? Is it my past, my present, or the future of what I might be? Is it my mourning and regret or the opportunities I get? Is it the standards that I set or the times I risk a bet? [Refrain 2] Have you stopped and taken a minute to think? Who do you think I am? [Verse 3] What is it that makes me me? Is it your opinion or what someone else can see? And what about my own? Does my perception matter? Am I the finished product or just the bowl of batter? [Refrain 3] I’ve stopped to think about who I am But what is it that you think? [Verse 4] Your opinion isn’t supreme, To say that is extreme My rights and my wrongs are real My opinion’s not better, in any form or letter It’s not more important how I feel [Refrain 4] How about I tell you who I think I am? And then you stop for a moment to think? [Bridge] I am you and you are me Both of us are human beings If our histories were exchanged I think our minds would change That’s enough for me to rest It’s a framework to pursue what’s best I can’t erase my past, I can’t predict all my acts I only have now, the promise of tangible growth to bring me back [Bridge 2] I tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it three times, each time I lost I tried it again with you, but I still underestimated the cost I don’t think anyone knows what it means to respect So when you take the time to think about who I am Can you prove that you’re right, or is it still a sham? There’s a cost to our actions, we are all in debt This is why we have responsibility Repentance is clearly demonstrating That we’re changing even though we’re not perfect yet [Refrain 5] I don’t know for sure who I am Why should I accept I am what you think? [Interlude] [Outro] Tell me what you think and I’ll tell you what I think If we agree, it’s easy, but if not, work is required Questioning our beliefs, assumptions, and how we’re inspired Who do you think I am? Who do I think you are? I’m doing the best I can, I’m not a shining star Tell me what you think and I’ll tell you what I think If we agree, it’s easy, but if not, work is required Questioning our beliefs, assumptions, and how we’re inspired Who do you think I am? Who do I think you are? I’m doing the best I can, I’m not a shining star
