Lyrics
IDENTITY
(words and music by Eilidh Patterson)
Identity, I wanna find the real me
Been presenting a fake I.D.
Just hoping I’ll get by
Identity, all of humanity
Are asking as well as me
“Who am I?”
How do I begin to find myself
When all my dreams are sitting on the shelf?
Conformity, it’s easy as ABC
It sneaks up on you and me
All the time
Security, is all that the world can see
Just to play happy families
‘Til we die
There must be something better in this life
Than sacrificing living to survive
Identity, I’m living out the reality
Of everything that I do believe
For the first time
Identity, I’m finding out who I’m meant to be
And soaring high on these wings, I’m free
And I won’t run out of sky
There is something better in this life
Than sacrificing living to survive
Identity, all of humanity
Are asking as well as me
“Who am I?”
