Who you are
Erika Jo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh beautiful child,
You've got a garden of time waiting for you
There are fields full of wonder for you
to uncover out there
I wanna be here to watch you change and grow and fly
Your future is as open as a big blue sky

And who you are is something you've gotta find out for yourself
And your life belongs to just you and nobody else
live your dreams and follow your heart
You'll find out who you are

Oh, sweet angel child, your spirit's
as wild as a sallion
Your innocense is
like a blanket of fresh white snow
You'll make mistakes
but don't be afraid to take your chance
Just beleive in yourself and you'll make your own path

Who you are is something
you've gotta find out for yourself
And your life belongs to
Just you and nobody else
Life your dreams and follow your heart
You'll find out who you are

And I wish I could be the angel beside
you to guide you
And I wish I could show you the way
But I know I gotta let you go

And who you are is something
you gotta find out for yourself.
And your life belongs to
Just you and nobody else




Life your dreams and follow your heart
You'll find out who you are
