“Without Effort and Knowledge,

the Heart isn’t Strong Enough
to Carry the Dream”,

Remember Who I Am
(Verse 1)
I’ve walked my roads without shortcuts
And missed so many turns
I’ve stopped along my journey
And outright refused to learn
But somewhere in my spirit
Is a light I’ll never fully comprehend
It takes me through my painful chapters
To reach my story’s end
(Chorus)
In my deepest darkest days
I cry
In my deepest darkest days
I die
In my deepest darkest days
I learn to try
I reach for the sky
With my arms open high
And always remember who I am
(Verse 2)
This road is long, the book a million pages
At times I get so tired
I have to read and walk in stages
But there is a power beneath my feet
That allows me to float on stressful days
Not knowing how or even why
I suddenly turn that page
(Chorus)
In my deepest darkest days
I cry
In my deepest darkest days
I die
In my deepest darkest days
I learn to try
I reach for the sky
With my arms open high
And always remember who I am
(Verse 3)
The voyage traveled is my narrative
Remembering who I am imperative
It’s my contribution to this place
I signature in stone…
It’s not the battles failed,
it is the journey flown
(Chorus)
In my deepest darkest days
I cry
In my deepest darkest days
I die
In my deepest darkest days
I learn to try
I reach for the sky
With my arms open high
And always remember who I am
I will affirm; I’ve made a difference
Remembering who I am,
please remember who I am
