Dedicated to all those folks who have to pretend to be someone else every day.

Is this who I am?
Is this who I am?
Been running around in circles again.

But if that's who I am,
if that's who I am,
Won't you show me the path and I follow as long as I can.

And with each passing day,
oh, the clock of my life ticks away,
It's time to stop pretending,
in the scene without ending,
and be who I am.

And if you can't relate,
Then I beg you to get out of the way,
before it's too late,
Cause I need to be with those who love just who I am.

You can't comprehend,
how authenticity really began,
how being, and feeling, and behaving like you's such a strain.

Sell out each day,
atta boy, now conform and be part of our play,
and what I think really doesn't matter that much to you anyway.

And with each passing day,
oh, the clock of my life ticks away,
It's time to stop pretending,
in the scene without ending,
and be who I am.

And if you can't relate,
Then I beg you to get out of the way,
before it's too late,
Cause I need to be with those who love just who I am.

That's who I am,
That'[s who I am,
creative, compassionate, that's who I am,

Release me,
from the shackles that tie me,
to your will until I may flee.

And each passing day,
oh, the clock of my life ticks away,
It's time to stop pretending,
in the scene without ending,
and be who I am.

And if you can't relate,
Then I beg you to get out of the way,
before it's too late,
Cause I need to be with those who love just who I am.
