Who We Are lyrics

(Beth Nielsen Chapman/Allen Shamblin)



She says she hates me- and not to call

She`s used her pain to build a concrete wall

She`s rolled her angry words into a fist

But that`s not who she is

That`s not who she is



I slammed the phone down hard and walked outside

I wrote her off that day as if she`d died

Said if she burns in hell, well I won`t give a damn

But that`s not who I am,

That`s not who I am



Lost behind the masks we wear

The barbed wire fences of our fear

We drag each other through these tears

And strike the wounds that scar

But that`s not who we are

That`s not who we are



Someday I`ll hold her, for this I pray

That time and grace will roll the stone away

And we`ll love each other with open hearts

Just for who we are

Just for who we are



A mother who gave all she could

A child who tried to just be good

In father brother sisterhood

We reach and fall so far

Like dust of ancient stars

That`s just who we are

Dust of ancient stars

That`s just who we are
