Who am I? Who are you?
Is this the place you've brought me to?
I'm not so sure what you have planned
Is that your breath or the breath of man?
I want to know just who you are
Not from a man or from a star
Define yourself into me
Because it's you I want to see
I've done studies, I've heard some things
But in those things does your truth ring?
Is that you or the world I hear
Where is the love? Why only fear?
Surely you are more than this
More than the tongue can dare confess
We are so small... of mind and might
I know I want to get this right
Tell me truly. Define yourself
Use your words upon this shelf
Use whatever you wish or will
I'll be quiet and sit still
Show me, teach me, tell me please
If on my face, my feet, my knees
I'll wait as long as you ask me to
For this conversation... just me and you
