If you've ever asked yourself
What an identity means
Then you would know that
It depends upon your friends and family

If you've ever asked yourself
Why you are in this world
Then you would know that
You are not alone' and this corner of the Earth is your home

We make our own identity
Although I cannot change what other people think of me
If you are close to me you are part of me
Although what you might see isn't all there seems to be

If you've ever asked yourself
How another might feel
Then you would know that
Empathy is deceptively easy

If you've ever asked yourself
Who matters to you
Then you would know that
You're protected by the people who prevent your feeling blue

We make our own identity
Although I cannot change what other people think of me
If you are close to me you are part of me
Although what you might see isn't all there seems to be
No matter what I might pretend to be
