Please tell me who I am

…at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please 
Please tell me what we've learned? 
I know it sounds absurd 
Please tell me who I am
Who I am, who I am, who I am

~ Richard Davies & Roger Hodgson, Supertramp 

A time of sadness is a time to understand.

I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land.

But it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand.

Lord is it mine?

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
I need to find a silent place that I can call my own
Is it mine, Lord is it mine?

When everything's dark and nothing seems right,
There's nothing to win and there's no need to fight
I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land
But it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand
Is it mine, Lord is it mine?

When everything's dark and nothing seems right,
You don't have to win and there's no need to fight
If only I could find a way
To feel your sweetness through the day
The love that shines around me could be mine.

So give us an answer, won't you,
We know what we have to do,
There must be a thousand voices trying to get through

~ Supertramp
