WHO I AM

Music and Lyrics By Duke Rightious

I could never be
What you want from me
How can you expect me
To run away from who I am?

I could never walk
I could never talk the talk
To make believe is not my plan...

Troubled waters
Winds of change are now at hand

I could never do
What you want me to
How can I ignore
All the hows and whys of who I am

Now it's clear to me,
Tears are gone and I can see
That by myself I must now stand

Tell me why can't you
Be a person who
Loves me as I am
With no other plan
Sees me as I stand
With arms open wide

I could never be
What you want from me
I can just be
Who I am.

(musical break)

What I want from you
You can't give it's true
How can I expect you
To run away from who you are

I could never stay
With the way things are today
I know that our love can't go far

Troubled waters
Winds of change are now at hand

I could never be
What you want from me
How can you expect me
To run away from who I am

I could never talk,
I could never walk the walk
To make believe is not my plan

It's so sad to me
What love comes to be
After so much time
You're no longer mine
No more paths to climb
With your hand in mine

I could never be
What you want from me
I can just be
Who I am.
