I Know Who I Am

They say you never see it coming
All the tiny little breaks
But somewhere out beyond no reason
You keep on giving what it takes
I never thought of running
I was busy carrying a load
Had the strength enough to take it
But not enough to let it go

It's a long time coming down a broken road

And finally I can feel without fearing
Cry without the pain
Stand up and love me
Or without any shame
It might have been a rough way to learn it
And a hard place to land
But the one thing I'm sure of now
Is I know who I am

Now, if somebody whould have told me
There was a better place to be
In my quiet desparation
It was to hard to belief
I guess you gotta know the distance
To know just when enough is enough
Now let nobody take it from me
'Cause I know what I'm made of

And there's nothing I can rise above

And finally I can feel without fearing
Cry without the pain
Stand up and love me
Or without any shame
It might have been a rough way to learn it
And a hard place to land
But the one thing I'm sure of now
Is I know who I am

I am a woman whose worth it
I am a woman deserving whatever it is
I can take it whatever it takes
I can make it, yeah

And finally I can feel without fearing
Cry without the pain
Stand up and love me
Or without any shame
It might have been a rough way to learn it
And a hard place to land
But the one thing I'm sure of now
Oh, and I absolutly have no doubt
Yeah, I know who I am
Yeah, I know who I am

I know
