Lyrics in search of a melody

FIRST VERSE

I was naked, I was helpless

As a newborn in Kentucky

I’m still naked, I’m still helpless

This disguise just makes me lucky

We act like we know something

But be honest, how much? How deep?

We act like we own something.

But what can we really keep?

REFRAIN

Not everything’s here to please us.

There’s enough to make you cry.

Even if you believe in Jesus

Gotta ask yourself, “Who am I?”

SECOND VERSE

Lotta lies to uncover

“You oughta do it our way”

One after the other

Found out, it’s all hearsay

My old heart sees clearly

Exactly what it’s made for

The view has cost me dearly

Ain’t no thing unpaid for

REFRAIN

Not everything’s rhyme and reason

There are birds that cannot fly

The faithful call it treason

But go ask yourself, “Who am I?”
