Who I Wanna Be

from Tennessee and 48th by Dave Giles

/

lyrics

Do I wanna be a father?
Do I wanna bring a child into this mess that we’ve made?
I wanna be like my mother
I wanna take on the power and not be afraid
I wanna know where I’m going
I wanna see the path to be a better man
I wanna feel like I’m growing
I wanna know that I ca

I finally know who I am
Can you see it?
Can you see it?

Ohhhh can’t you see?
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
Ohhhh can’t you see?
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
So many questions, so little time
I need solutions just to clear up my mind
Ohhhh, can’t you see?
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be

Don’t wanna be a preacher
But I wanna live in a world where we all get along
I wanna follow a leader
I wanna be in a room and feel I belong
I wanna feel inspired
I wanna see the hope on the worst of my days
D’ya wanna light my fire?
D’ya wanna burn down the walls they’ve put in our way?

I finally know who I am
Can you see it?
Can you see it?

Ohhhh can’t you see?
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
Ohhhh can’t you see?
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
So many questions, so little time
I need solutions just to clear up my mind
Ohhhh, can’t you see?
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be

I’m hoping I’ve got more time
To carry on, to carry on
I’ll make my reparations
And carry on and carry on

Ohhhh can’t you see?
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
Ohhhh can’t you see?
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
So many questions, so little time
I need solutions just to clear up my mind
Ohhhh, can’t you see?
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
It’s who I wanna, it’s who I wanna be
