Who am I to be

Who I am to be?

The face in mirror, who am I to be
What road do I take
Which voice do I heed

Though I know what I do
I do not know who I am
From what wellspring does my life appear

Is it vanity to think one can change the world
Is it insanity to think I would even dare
More questions than answers I fear

Is it the act of faith I must embrace
A blind path with no guarantees
Is it only with faith my life will unfold

So strange I would accept much less
Just so that I would be so sure
Of how tomorrow tomorrows will be told

But in the quite moments
Between each breath that I take
My spirit whispers to me

Take hold of your faith
Follow your heart
And your dreams do not forsake

I look in the mirror
And the man that I see
Has always been there waiting
To accept his destiny
