[00:00.72]Artist:nichole nordeman [00:01.72]Songs Title:who you are [00:04.93] [00:22.77]I was certain that i knew You [00:24.96]At the tender age of twelve [00:28.09]You'd so often been described by those [00:30.77]Who said they knew You well [00:34.15]Dark and rugged in Your thirties [00:37.20]With a smile as bright as Your robe [00:43.65] [00:45.14]Every teacher, every preacher [00:49.71]With the very best intent [00:51.28]Found new ways to hide the mystery [00:54.66]Replaced by common sense [00:57.15]And to know You was to keep You in my pocket [01:02.71]So easy to hold [01:04.21] [01:09.19]I know I can't explain You [01:12.14]I would not even try to [01:15.20]And yet it's clear that You are here beside me [01:21.33]I marvel and i wonder [01:23.82]So near and somehow still so far [01:28.95]What makes You who You are? [01:32.57] [01:43.20]It is easy to insist [01:46.57]On what is packaged and precise [01:49.26]And dismiss the clear suspicion [01:52.20]That You're bigger than we'd like [01:54.83]It is tempting to regard You as familiar [01:59.52]In so many ways [02:01.11] [02:36.83]I've tried to draw these lines around You [02:41.77]A definition or an absolute [02:47.77]But i could not be satisfied with black or white [02:52.58]There is so much more [02:54.90]There is so much You
