I thought I was a rose
Until I pricked someone like a thorn
I thought myself to be a thorn
Until someone loved me like a flower
I thought of me as a Glacier
Only to see myself running like a river
I started believing myself to be a river
Only to behold my expanse as an ocean
I thought myself to be this
But life told me I was that
I started believing myself to be that
But then life whispered I was this
Moving constantly from this to that
Pushed ceaselessly from that to this
An endless battle became this life
Full of struggle, full of strife
A new day then dawned
Just like the days past
but life this day
Had something new to recite
You don't have to be this
You don't have to become that
You are the flower, you are the thorn
You are the glacier, and the ocean
You are this and you are that too
You are everything that I am
When you return home and rest
You know then that I am
When you arrive with nowhere more to go
You know then too that I am
When you surrender into my embrace
You will know for sure who I am
For you are none other than me
You are that who I am
You are that who I am
You are that who I am
