[00:01.72]Songs Title:who you are
[00:04.93]
[00:22.77]I was certain that i knew You
[00:24.96]At the tender age of twelve
[00:28.09]You'd so often been described by those
[00:30.77]Who said they knew You well
[00:34.15]Dark and rugged in Your thirties
[00:37.20]With a smile as bright as Your robe
[00:43.65]
[00:45.14]Every teacher, every preacher
[00:49.71]With the very best intent
[00:51.28]Found new ways to hide the mystery
[00:54.66]Replaced by common sense
[00:57.15]And to know You was to keep You in my pocket
[01:02.71]So easy to hold
[01:04.21]
[01:09.19]I know I can't explain You
[01:12.14]I would not even try to
[01:15.20]And yet it's clear that You are here beside me
[01:21.33]I marvel and i wonder
[01:23.82]So near and somehow still so far
[01:28.95]What makes You who You are?
[01:32.57]
[01:43.20]It is easy to insist
[01:46.57]On what is packaged and precise
[01:49.26]And dismiss the clear suspicion
[01:52.20]That You're bigger than we'd like
[01:54.83]It is tempting to regard You as familiar
[01:59.52]In so many ways
[02:01.11]
[02:36.83]I've tried to draw these lines around You
[02:41.77]A definition or an absolute
[02:47.77]But i could not be satisfied with black or white
[02:52.58]There is so much more
[02:54.90]There is so much You
