What Is Me?

​

Within the water and the waves

Within the reef where coral grows
In this underwater world

I try to forget all I know
I am so very far away

From hearth and home and certitude
My mind just drifts as on the tide

I value all the time with you

The sun just bakes and watches me

As I live life upon the earth
I never thought that I would see

How much I wish I meant to learn

Meant to learn

I want to be, I want to live

I want experience to give
I need to find, I need to see

I need to know just what is me?
I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?
I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?

​

Within the houses where we live

Inside the fence within the trees
Along the lonely forest path

I know how much you mean to me
And so we face a future time where we live fulfilling lives
The hidden depths obscure the world

Can I be yours and you be mine?

The sun just bakes and watches me

As I live life upon the earth
I never thought that I would see

How much I wish I meant to learn

Meant to learn

​

I want to be, I want to live

I want experience to give
I need to find, I need to see

I need to know just what is me?
I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?
I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?

The canyons soft and yielding breath

The darkness once revealed to light
The creatures drift around my head

I never thought I’d want the night
Adventures rush a headlong pace

from low to high and side to side
As I see what I came to see

I have renaissance in my life

​

The sun just bakes and watches me

As I live life upon the earth
I never thought that I would see

How much I wish I meant to learn Meant to learn

​​

I want to be, I want to live

I want experience to give
I need to find, I need to see

I need to know just what is me?
I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?
I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?

 

I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?
I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?

​

I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?
I need to know, I need to know

I need to know just what is me?​
