FINDING ME

I WENT TO THE MOUNTAINS TO TRY TO FIND ME
TO KNOW WHO I WAS OR WHO I COULD BE
I ONLY SAW TREES AND A LANDSCAPE OF FOUNTAINS
AND WALKED AWAY ONLY DISCOVERING MOUNTAINS

I WENT TO THE CITY TO TRY TO FIND ME
TO KNOW WHO I WAS OR WHAT I COULD BE
I ONLY SAW PEOPLE ALL OVER THE PLACE
I DIDN’T FIND ME OR EVEN MY FACE

I WENT TO THE GRAVEYARD TO TRY TO FIND ME
TO KNOW WHO I WAS OR WHERE I COULD BE
I ONLY SAW GRAVES THAT WERE FILLED WITH THE DEAD
SO I LEFT THE GRAVEYARD AND WENT HOME INSTEAD

I WENT TO MY MIRROR TO TRY TO FIND ME
TO KNOW WHO I WAS OR WHO I COULD SEE
THE FACE THAT I SAW WAS THE SAME FACE EACH DAY
THAT LOOKED RIGHT BACK AT ME WITH NOTHING TO SAY

BUT THIS TIME I STOOD STILL-REMOVED THE DISGUISE
I LOOKED PAST THE NEGATIVES COVERING MY EYES
AND SAW SOMETHING DEEPER AND SAW WHO I WAS
I SAW SOMEONE THAT ONLY NEEDED MY LOVE

SO, WHEN I GO SEARCHING AGAIN TO FIND ME
I KNOW THERE’S NO PLACE I COULD POSSIBLY BE
EXCEPT TO LOOK INWARD AND PASS THE DISGUISE
AND THERE I’LL BE FOUND WHEN I OPEN MY EYES

it's easy to forget who you are and what you're all about. it's easy to not even know who you are and how to answer that question. you can go through life thinking who you are is what you do and is based on who you love and who you are constantly around. this is where God comes into the picture. He brings "light" to our idenity. He brings truth (good or bad). and He brings love-so that we could know how to love ourselves. believe it or not....that's tough for alot of people to do. finding yourself-you only need look to God. it's a quicker search like google:-)

FINAL THOUGHT:don't be afraid to learn about who you are. as the saying goes "God don't make junk". you won't find perfection, but you will find you're not as bad as you may think. and you just may find God along the way.

QUESTION:what do you love about being who are you right now?
