I Know Who I Am

I know who I am
I know why I'm here
I know who I am
Now I understand
What was far is near

You can take my eyes
You can take my ears
You can take my heart
But the loving part
Will not disappear

Is it any wonder
How clear the truth can be
Was I expecting thunder
And lightning to set me free

You have searched the sky
You have searched the sea
You can search the sands
For a thousand lands
But you won't find me

Is it any wonder
How clear the truth can be
Was I expecting thunder
And lightning to help me see

I am that which
Drives this body
I am that made it be
And I will break it down
And wash it to the sea
