Who I Am

(Verse One)
Heavy breathing
Chest is heaving
Pulse is racing
I can’t slow it down

Palms are sweaty
I’m not ready
But I’m here
And it’s too late to turn back now

(Pre-Chorus One)
I’m at the door
I’m in the dark
I walk on with the band
When I look out, and see the crowd
I understand

(Chorus)
This is who I am
This is what I do
I love to stand out on the stage
Because I like the view
This is where I feel
Like I’m more than just a man
This is where I’m meant to be
This is who I am

(Verse Two)
Digging deep and
Barely sleeping
Another town
Another sell-out show

Our heads are aching
I’m sick of waking
Up at five o’clock
For breakfast radio

(Pre-Chorus Two)
I’m in the dark
I’m on the road
I’m fighting with the band
But every night, they hit the lights
And I understand

(Chorus)
This is who I am
This is what I do
I love to stand out on the stage
Because I like the view
This is where I feel
Like I’m more than just a man
This is where I’m meant to be
This is who I am

(Bridge)
I’ve been kicked around
Been battered to the ground
And beaten on the floor

I been played like a fiddle
Been the piggy-in-the-middle
Pushed up against the wall

But I must have some kind of angel
Watchin’ over me
Cause I got everything I ever dreamed

(Pre-Chorus Three)
I’m in the light
I’m at the mic
I’m singin’ with my band
And when I see you on your feet
I understand

(Chorus)
This is who I am
This is what I do
I love to stand out on the stage
Because I like the view
This is where I feel
Like I’m more than just a man
This is where I’m meant to be

This is who I am
This is what I do
I love to stand out on the stage
Because I like the view
This is where I feel
Like I’m more than just a man
This is where I’m meant to be
This is who I am
