who I am

(You showed me…)

(Showed me…)

(Who I am…)

VERSE 1 (Intimate / Low Build)

I learned to breathe without a sound

Mistook my fear for safe ground

I stayed small just to survive

Called it living, called it life

I wore my doubt like second skin

Afraid of what lived deep within

I wasn’t broken, I was blind

Till you saw strength I couldn’t find

You taught me who I am

When I couldn’t understand

You turned my fear into a flame

Put a sword into my hands

You showed me how to rise

When my hope was wearing thin

I’m standing here because you showed me

You showed me who I am

(Yeah)

You showed me

Who I am

You didn’t carry me through the fire

You didn’t break my chains

You showed me how to stand

And speak my name

I was waiting for a sign

You gave me truth, not time

PRE-CHORUS

Your voice cut through the noise

Not a promise—just a choice

You said, “Stand. Don’t run. Don’t hide.”

And for the first time… I tried

You taught me who I am

When I couldn’t understand

You turned my fear into a flame

Put a sword into my hands

You showed me how to rise

When my hope was wearing thin

I’m standing here because you showed me

You showed me who I am

(Who I am)

(You showed me)

Who I am

You let me fall, you let me bleed

So I could learn to stand on my feet

You gave me truth, not guarantees

That’s what made a warrior of me

You didn’t fight my wars for me

You showed me where my strength should be

In every fall, you made me see

The fire was already in me

(chant build begins)

Ah-ah… ah-ah…

Ah-ah… ah-ah….

You taught me who I am

When I couldn’t understand

You turned my fear into a flame

Put a sword into my hands

You showed me how to rise

When my hope was wearing thin

I’m standing here because you showed me

You showed me who I am

I’m standing here

Because you showed me

You showed me

Who I am

(You showed me…)

(Who I am…)
