They say you never see it coming

All the tiny little breaks

But somewhere out beyond no reason

You keep on giving what it takes

I never thought of running

I was busy carrying a load

Had the strenght enough to take it

But not enough to let it go

It"s a long time coming down a broken road

And finally I can feel without fearing

Cry without the pain

Stand up and love me

Or without any shame

It might have been a rough way learning

And a hard place to land

But the one thing I"m sure of now

Is I know who I am

Now if somebody whould have told me

There was a better place to be

In my quiet desparation

It was to hard to belief

I guess you gotta know the distance

So just when you know it"s enough

Now let nobody take it from me

Cause I know what I"m made of

And there"s nothing I can rise above

And finally I can feel without fearing

Cry without the pain

Stand up and love me

Or without any shame

It might have been a rough way learning

And a hard place to land

But the one thing I"m sure of now

Is I know who I am

A woman who"s more than I am

A woman"s deserving whatever it is

I can take it whatever it takes

I can make it yeah

And finally I can feel without fearing

Cry without the pain

Stand up and love me

Or without any shame

It might have been a rough way learning

And a hard place to land

But the one thing om shure of now

Oh, and I absolutly have no doubt

Know who I am

Yeah, I know

I Know who I am
