Now I'm breathing the breath of god,
And the cold wind cleans my
Mind
And I'm standing in a ring of fire, and
My haert s made of light
And I fly across the red mountains.
And my hands contain the sky
And earth rolls away in
Darkness, and I ride a piece of
Lightning,
Killing time, killing time
Now they punish our imagination, and
Corrupt our blood with fear,
And infinity's beneath the ocean, but
Oblivion sits right beside
Me here
So we are blind and we're polluted,
And each breath is drunk with
Tears
We'll drift away across tomorrow,
And we'll ride the breath of
Nothing
Through the yers, killing time,
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Hair, check!
Shoes, check!
A brand new fit, lookin' cool, check!
I'm lookin' in the mirror like oooh, yes!
To cover for an insecure dude, check!
But she won't feel me and they won't like me
If I ain't in them J's or them brand new nikes
Let's dig deeper inside my psyche
When it's all said and done even I don't like me
He live in the gym and his hair stay faded
Late model car so they think he made it
He's Christian, he gave his life
But he still ain't satisfied in the savior Christ
Still finds his identity in looks and cars
If he only knew that he ain't have to look so hard
If he looked in God
It may seem odd
But he be so satisfied, he can leave it all
[Chorus:]
I'm not the shoes I wear
I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm not the house I live in
I'm not the car I drive, no
I'm not the job I work
You can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth
My identity is found in Christ, is found in Christ
[Verse 2: LeCrae]
Got her hair done, toes, nails
Is that Her, well it's hard to tell
Cause she's so caked up in all that make up
It's like she tryna make up for what she ain't but,
She's a saint, but so confused
Cause she's been rejected by all these dudes
That tell her on a scale of 10 she's a two
But that ain't true
If she only knew
In Christ she is loved, she secure and accepted
Never be rejected by God whose elected her
Her beauty is her Godliness
And she ain't gotta flaunt it cause it's obvious
Identity is found in the God we trust
And any other identity will self destruct
Identity is found in the God we trust
And any other identity will self destruct
[Chorus:]
I'm not the shoes I wear
I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm not the house I live in
I'm not the car I drive, no
I'm not the job I work
You can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth
My identity is found in Christ, is found in Christ
[Verse 3: Da' T.R.U.T.H]
Hey, how do I gain success
Why do I say I'm blessed, huh
Is it the car that I drive
Or the place that I rest
Or the way that I dress, now, now
Is the cause of my pride
The stage and the set
Or my face in the press, now, now
It's the applause that dies
When the praise is less
If my face is depressed, then, then
It's cause my value and worth is in the volume of the work I produce in the booth
It's a prize and a curse if defined by the perks when the truth is through
Man I won't feel like I don't want to live no more, no more, no more
Cause they don't like me, like they did in 04, 04, 04
So I swallow my pride empowered by God, I'm complete in Him
He's got peace God's priest, I'm in
In His presence weak is strength
Meet His kin
We His brethren
Read this list
Me forgiven
He's dismissed guilt and my sin
And then I find my worth cause I'm Jesus' friend
[Chorus:]
I'm not the shoes I wear
I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm not the house I live in
I'm not the car I drive, no
I'm not the job I work
You can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth
I've been looking from the outside, outside
I've been walking on a straight line, straight line
Scared to let the world see my failures, who I am, or who I've been
I've been waiting for somebody else to
Take the chance that I am so afraid to
I don't know how to and myself am I the only one the only one
Oh I wanna feel You move me like a river running through me
I am so tired of trying to
prove it I m never gonna do it alone
God I need You to be my identity
It's always easier to hide behind that
Camouflage that keeps our hearts so guarded
But there's no shame when we surrender everything to You
Everything to You
I want to see the world change, see the system cave in
You pull our hearts from the ashes
The cry of the captive is rising
Oh I wanna feel You move me like a river running through me
I am so tired of trying to
prove it I'm never gonna do it alone
Trained to fail before I could walk
Now I'm undoing 20 years of lies I've been taught
Not always easy let the past be forgot,
when memories keep you caught
Let's travel back, now hold up stop, why
Cuz if I dwell on the past I get focussed to who I'm not
I strive to stay away but that ain't easy
When who I was wants to control my destiny testing me
Man, it's got me tripping
its in these moments of despair I feel my foundation's slipping
Its starts ripping leaving me broken
Now I'm completely confused and I'm vulnerable and open
I try to run, but who am I running from?
See, what within myself this battle has come
So basically, You say it's up to me
Cuz I'm my greatest ally or my worst enemy
BRIDGE
I stepped out of my body to let God slide in
Although I'm still dressed in flesh I spiritually died in
Alive in Christ, a new creation started breathing
Life exists and through this came completion (x2)
CHORUS
Get your mind body and soul under control
Who am I? Identify
Who are You? All is new
I feel like my soul keeps challenging my spirit
And my spirit keeps challenging my soul
Which ever one I choose to excersize the most
Will be the one to obtain control
Man, I feel like I got multi-personalities
I dabble in multi-mentalities
My own thoughts hold me captive in a world of confusion
As the monipulation increases gradually
Now If a lies placed before me and I buy into it
Then am i responsible for the deception?
If I have no acceptance
Who's to blame for these feelings of rejection?
Man I bring these feelings of confusion
I challenge all that my heart believes
I'm the one that drags my past up from the grave
telling myself I wont succeed
BRIDGE and CHORUS
I'm not that person anymore!!!
Thats what blood was shed for,
NO LONGER A FAILURE!!!
Living life more abundantly,
Who are you? What's that under your skin?
The truth has got to be there
Who am I? Am I kidding myself
That the pain is too much to bear
Who are we? Is it my time to look
At your lies That are plain in sight
Can you see? What this is doing to me
It was dark but it's now in the light
What's your identity?
Is it what we can see
What's your identity?
What do you want from me?
Who are you? Have I ever known you?
You've been someone else from the start
Who am I? when will I know the truth?
I've been telling you from the heart
Who are we? Have you ever been real?
Is there anyone living inside
Can you see? that I want to break out
But you keep taking me for a ride
What's your identity?
Is it what we can see
What's your identity?
What do you want from me?
Identity
Identity
Identity
Identity
Identity - Get the fuck away from me
I see no light
Fade to black
Kiss the cheek then coincide
Identify then crucify
Force-feeding your ideals
Coerced against my will
A prophecy the second coming
A forecast haunting me
Forgive and be forgiven
A hypocrisy deceiving me
Identity
Is the crisis
Can't you see
Identity identity
When you look in the mirror
Do you see yourself
Do you see yourself
On the t.v. screen
Do you see yourself
In the magazine
When you see yourself
Does it make you scream
When you look in the mirror
Do you smash it quick
Do you take the glass
And slash your wrists
Did you do it for fame
Did you do it in a fit
Did you do it before
Endless strife-turns me into a stranger
See your eyes-yes I think you've been here
Revelation-maybe I'm longing to be
Solitude-this is my oblivion
Your fragrance to me- seduction
My eyes-see me for what I am not
My tears-make me feel nothing at all
My heart-has unfolded before me
What's the latest trend you're jumping into
Don't bite off more than you can chew.
It's your willingness to collapse yourself,
That leaves your backbone on the shelf.
When the time comes for leaving,
Will you realize who's been grieving.
Who will you see when you look in the mirror?
Is it you or can you face your fear?
Did the pressure break you, and will it undertake you?
Time comes to figure out your life, it's coming up now
Chorus
It's your identity that's lost, you'll never realize the cost
Twenty years from now sitting still you'll be all alone, looking up that hill
When your anger comes from within,
You know you can never win.
Sitting on the sidelines picking up anything you can put in that cup.
All these things aren't yours to take,
Save your soul at the iron gate.
Trade in all the chains that bind you,
Turn around and look who's lied to you.
Like the rain washes the dirt away,
So will it ease your pain.
Be yourself,
people will see,
That life has been good
Get off your knees.
IT DON'T MATTER MUCH
WHO YOU WERE
IT DON'T MATTER MUCH
WHERE YOU'VE BEEN
YEAH, YEAH
IT DON'T MATTER MUCH
WHAT YOU'VE DONE
ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHO YOU ARE TODAY
He was born a beggar in the ghetto
With no clothes to wear
He never went to Yale or Harvard
He grew up on welfare
He never marred a doctor or a lawyer
He never even owned a house
But he knew Jesus as his Lord & Savior
That's how I know he's in Heaven now
She was born an orphan in an alley
She never knew her mother's love
She never knew her earthly father
But she knew of the one above
He was born a baby in a manger
With no clothes to wear
He was sacrificed and sent to Heaven
So I said it once before when you opened up that door to my mind.
This is who I want to be, Individuality this time.
Face to Face with who I am I begin to understand my life.
Where you are and what you see can determine who you'll be at times.
Every time I look away, every single day I find another piece of me.
It's not, easy, to be who your meant to be.
It's not easy!
Chorus:
Who am I really trying to please?
Things aren't always quite what they seem to be.
This is unmistakably me.
Underneath the surface you'll see, every single facet of me, believe.
This is my identity.
Holding true to what I am,
If your not my biggest fan you'll find,
That what you get is what you see, so much for hypocrisy. Surprise!
It's not easy, to be who you're meant to be! It's not easy!
I'm not here to act like I know everything.
I just feel I need a little understanding.
There was this empty shell
And I called it my life
Sometimes it felt like hell
But it was easy to survive
Time was like a drain
That didn't flush me down
There was no room for pain
And not one chance to drown
I want to cut off all my ties
I need to break through all the ice
I want it to evaporate
And cease to be a surrogate
I want to raise a thunderstorm
I want to bring down all the rain
I want to be the flood that cleans
I want to know what my life means
I want to cut off all my ties
I need to break through all the ice
I want it to evaporate
And cease to be a surrogate
I want to find the strength I need
To truly follow my own lead
I want to find my destiny
And know my own identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity
I got up every day
To do as I was told
I felt like a piece of clay
For someone else to mold
My suit fit me just fine
And my shirt was always clean
My thoughts, they were never mine
But there was no need to scream
I looked left and right
And they were all the same
I lay awake at night
And tried to recall my name
I got up the next day
And took a long last look
There was no time to stay
On the first page of this book
I want to cut off all my ties
I need to break through all the ice
I want it to evaporate
And cease to be a surrogate
I want to raise a thunderstorm
I want to bring down all the rain
I want to be the flood that cleans
I want to know what my life means
I want to cut off all my ties
I need to break through all the ice
I want it to evaporate
And cease to be a surrogate
I want to find the strength I need
To truly follow my own lead
I want to find my destiny
And know my own identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity, identity
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am

No one can hear all that’s been said
You’re feeding me useless lines of nothingness
Let me run away
Don’t keep me here
I can’t stay around and take this fear
Is everything I want to be a disgrace to my identity
I don’t mind
Just give me my indifference, stop questioning my reason
I don’t mind
Uncomfortably clear
All is the same now
I’m adapting to this
No I’m not afraid now
Let me run away
You can’t keep me here
Madness can come from the mind or the heart
Ending is never as good as the start
Nothing is ever as good as your dream
Nothing is ever as bad as
Psycholigical confusion
Is caused by the inability
To reconcile different elements
On my own personality
I'm feeling all the wrong things, I have become my own shadow
If I could justify things, then I believe in my life
Who am I, what is me, losing my Identity
Who am I, what is me, somethings taking over
All the colours seem so vague now, sharper now here comes the pain
I have wrestled with this nightmare, now I live inside a dream
I'm going through a crisis, losing my identity
How can I reconcile this
Have I been living I lie
Who am I, what is me, losing my Identity
Who am I, what is me, somethings taking over
Nothing is ever as good as it seems
Nothing is never as goods as your dreams
The ending is never as good as the start
Madness can come from the mind of the heart
Ideas that I take for granted, are they just the seeds
That some one else has planted, right inside of me
Who I am, what is me
(Verse 1)
Sitting here alone
Thinking of you
I'm blown away
You never gave up on me
Time after time
I let you down,
So caught up and focused on me
My own desires
Get in the way
I should be finding my purpose in You
So I can be
What You have for me
(extended verse 1)
I need You to search me Oh, God
I want to be just like you
So that you can be seen, when they see me
You know my thoughts
You know my heart
Along the way,
I've made mistakes, but thank You for grace
Hiding my flaws
So they can see You
(Chorus)
Lord, I want to change
Take it away, Whatever it is
That's my desire
I want Your heart!
(Verse 2)
Wasted enough
of my destiny
Trying to please those
Who really didn't care about me
I'm trusting you
'Cause you hold the plans just for my life
I stand unafraid
Desperate for Change
Please take it all so I can live free
'Cause I have to be more like You
(Chorus)
Lord, I want to change
Take it away, Whatever it is
That's my desire
I want Your heart!
(Vamp)
Oh, Lord this is me
I'm asking you to, please, change my identity
I wanna be more like You
I'm asking you to, please, change my identity
(2xs)
Oh, Lord this is me
I'm asking you to, please, change my identity
I don't wanna be like this!
This is my request
Lord, Please, change my identity!

I don't wanna be like this!
This is my request
Lord, Please, change my identity!
(3xs)
I need You to search me, Oh God
You are love, so I am love
You are joy and so I am joy
You are peace, so I am peace
Lord, everything You are
Now becomes me
And the line between where
You begin
And where I end is gone
I'm in -
You - I know who I am
You're my true, born identity
And I'm not the one I used to be
'Cause now there is no
separating You
From who I am
You are strong, so I am strong
You are power and so I am powerful
You are mercy, so I am mercy
Lord, everything You are
Now becomes me
And the line between where
You begin
And where I end is gone
Now I'm in -
'Cause we're in You
Anything less is not us
Anything less is not us
Anything else is not who we are
'Cause we're in -
You - we know who we are
You're our true, born identity
And we're not the ones we used to be
'Cause now there is no
separating
Not the ones we used to be
'Cause now there is no
separating You
'Cause anything less is not us
Anything less is not us
Anything less is not who we are
Anything less is not us
Anything less is not us
You are love
So I am love
You are joy
And so I am, joy
You are peace
So I am peace
Lord everything you are
Now becomes me
The line between
Where you begin
And where I end
Is gone, now I’m in…
(Chorus)
YOU, I know who I am
You’re my true, born identity
I’m not the one I used to be
For now there is no separating
You…from who I am
You are strong
So I am strong
You are power
And so I am…powerful
You are mercy
So I am mercy
Cause everything you are
Has now become me
Anything less is not us
Anything less is not us
Sittin here alone
Thinking of You
I'm blown away
You never gave up on me
Time after time
I let You down
So caught up and focused on me
My own desires
Get in the way
I should be finding my purpose in You
So I can be
What You have for me
I need You to search me oh God

I need You to search me Oh God x5
He knows what he stands for
But they don't understand
Why he chooses to be different
He sees that their laughing
Because he won't join in
At the party Friday night.
They ask him why and he says
That's who I am
forgiven and set free
It doesn't matter what the world may think of me
I got nothing to hide
I know my Identity
Without a doubt I know His blood has covered me
And that's who I am
She's got the perfect boyfriend
The coolest guy in school
But it wasn't meant to be
Her friends can't imagine
Why she'd let him go
Just to keep her purity
Although they may not understand
They ask her why she says
That's who I am
forgiven and set free
It doesn't matter what the world may think of me
I got nothing to hide
I know my identity
Without a doubt I know His blood has covered me
From nothing you go into the world
Called reality
From ongoing wonder you’ll cry
In the cold uncertainty
You’ll open your eyes and then try
To find out your destiny
Who am I?
Why, when and how
Can I find my identity?
I fought for my ideals!
Chorus
I was scared in this lonesome fight
“Will I find myself?
As the only one on earth
Is there a thing that only I can do?”
I have my mission: To live my life!
I have my mission: To live my life!
Losers and winners in the fight
Trapped in destinies
Begging for money, he asked himself
Where is my dignity?
Who am I?
Why, what and how
Can I live in this reality?
There seemed to be differences
Between me and the world
There seemed to be differences
Between me and the others
I fought for my ideals
Chorus
I was scared in this lonesome fight
“Will I find myself? …
I have my mission: To live my life!
I have my mission: To live my life!
I don’t know my future
I can not know my future
What if I lose my voice to sing with?
What can I do?
Solo
Sometimes I don’t like myself
Sometimes I don’t understand
Sometimes I try to kill my dream
Facing the cold of the world
Sometimes I miss you so badly
So I try to forget
Sometimes I wish I had no mind
To live another day
I’m still scared in this lonesome fight
Will I find myself?
As the only one on earth
Is there a thing that only I can do?
Oh, I’ve got to find my strength
Even if there’s nothing I can reach…
Oh, do you hear me crying out?
Even if there’s nothing we can share…
But I have my mission: To live my life!
You have your mission: To live your life!
I have my mission: To live my life!
I have my mission
Well I guess it, guess it all began when
When I could understand the social life
The worries and I heard what, what you used to say but
Now these things have changed and it seems like the only way
Well I guess it, guess it all began when
When I could understand the social life
The worries and I heard what, what you used to say but
Now these things have changed and it seems like the only way
Trying hard to figure out myself
So I act like someone else
Wish it could be easier to see
How I'm supposed to be
Who you are is what you say and all that you say
Is all that I believe
I try to leave all the things that get in the way
Of my identity
Who you are is where you stand and what you stand for
Is who I'll try to be
As cliche as it is I wanna fit in with
Your identity, yeah
Well it took a while for me to realize that I didn't have to be
The guy I thought that they would like to see
I decided I needed to dispose
Of this life I never chose
Will I figure out myself?
Tired of being someone else
Wish it could be easier to see
Lord, show me who I should be
Who you are is what you say and all that you say
Is all that I believe
I try to leave all the things that get in the way
Of my identity
Who you are is where you stand and what you stand for
Is who I'll try to be
As cliche as it is I wanna fit in with
Your identity
Who you are is what you say and all that you say
Is all that I believe
I try to leave all the things that get in the way
My identity
Who you are is where you stand and what you stand for
Who I'll try to be
Cliche as it is I wanna fit in
Who you are is what you say and all that you say
Is all that I believe
I try to leave all the things that get in the way
My identity
Who you are is where you stand and what you stand for
Is who I'll try to be
As cliche as it is I wanna fit in with
What's the latest trend you're jumping into
Don't bite off more than you can chew.
It's your willingness to collapse yourself,
That leaves your backbone on the shelf.
When the time comes for leaving,
Will you realize who's been grieving.
Who will you see when you look in the mirror?
Is it you or can you face your fear?
Did the pressure break you, and will it undertake you?
Time comes to figure out your life, it's coming up now
Chorus
It's your identity that's lost, you'll never realize the cost
Twenty years from now sitting still you'll be all alone, looking up that hill
When your anger comes from within,
You know you can never win.
Sitting on the sidelines picking up anything you can put in that cup.
All these things aren't yours to take,
Save your soul at the iron gate.
Trade in all the chains that bind you,
Turn around and look who's lied to you.
Like the rain washes the dirt away,
So will it ease your pain.
Be yourself,
People will see,
That life has been good
OF ALL THE DREAMS, that men can have
this is the one i can't forget
the one last hope in misery
that carried us through history
to be complete, to live in peace
a heart, a full identity
and though they made it hard for me
no one can stop me CHASING THIS DREAM
i know the taste of hell and i saw heaven's light
i learn by all my scars i'll find wisdom true as gold
i know where to dig
for this box filled with gold
a treasure so perfect
a treasure so brilliant
Make a stand, look the fool
Take a vote, over-rule
Everybody in favour
Say Aye! Aye! Aye!
Am I me, or am I yours?
The guarantee, what’s the clause?
Have I been living a lie
For you to die-die-die?
I’ve been trying to see
Who’s governing over me
Look around could it be
Big Brother is watching me?
I’m looking for my identity
My identity
My identity
So I sign the dotted line
Feels like doing time
Don’t believe a word
It’s not for you-you-you
Phoney lust is what I found
Both hands neatly bound
I vacation living it up in hell
I’ve been trying to see
Who’s governing over me
Look around could it be
Big Brother is watching me?
I’m looking for my identity
My identity
My identity
Well I’m turning to the next man
He’s staring at the wall
He’s searching it, baby
So small, so tall
I can’t be seen
I’ve been trying to see
Who’s governing over me
Look around could it be
Big Brother is watching me?
I’m looking for my identity
I’ve been trying to see
Who’s governing over me
Look around could it be
Big Brother is watching me?
I’m looking for my identity
My identity
I thought you left me to die
These wounds are getting deeper
I've been betrayed and left behind
Poison filling my mind
Are you even listening?
This world has taken me down
Things aren't what I had imagined them to be
There's no easy way out
I need your guidance
We see the cracks begin to fade
Fade away, into the safest place
Where I let these demons remain
Nobody said these bones wouldn't break
Along the way, along the way
To walk this path alone
It means death for us all
This road we've created in our minds
Leads to nothing but pain
We are our burden
(I will not play the victim)
In the primes of our lives we turn a blind eye
To the burdens that we bring on ourselves
Mistaking fortune for warnings
I brought this on myself
Remove yourself
Release yourself from the things that
Hold these chains in place
Remove yourself
Release yourself and break away, break away
Remove these chains from me
And you'll see them all fade away, fade away
Fade away into the safest place
Where I let these demons remain
Nobody said these bones wouldn't break
Along the way, along the way
