Who You Are Lyrics - Singles - Nordeman Nichole

I was certain that I knew You 

At the tender age of twelve 

You'd so often been described by those 

Who said they knew You well 

Dark and rugged in Your thirties 

With a smile as bright as Your robe 

Every teacher, every preacher 

With the very best intent 

Found new ways to hide the mystery 

Replaced by common sense 

And to know You was to keep You in my pocket 

So easy to hold 

I know I can't explain you 

I would not even try to 

Ad yet it's clear that You are here beside me 

I marvel and I wonder 

So near and somehow still so far 

What makes You who You are? 

It is easy to insist 

On what is packaged and precise 

And dismiss the clear suspicion 

That You're bigger than we'd like 

It is tempting to regard You as familiar 

In so many ways 

I've tried to draw these lines around You 

A definition or an absolute 

But I could not be satisfied with black or white 

There is so much more 

There is so much You
