Name: You Are Who You Are (live)
Duration: P00H05M18S
Description: I wrote this song when I was 17 years old while in my last year of high school living in New Glasgow, NS. I was reading poetry books by Irving Layton and took the line of the bridge (I’m nobody…) from one of his poems. I love the harmonies that Selah and Joyce brought to the live performance. The original recording is on the album Your/Self 2008.

lyrics

Point your toes girl and bend your knees
You will fly across the seas
Only you can hold you down
Just turn that frown upside down

You are who you are
Nobody but yourself (X2)

Point your toes boy and lift your hands
And take on what the earth demands
Don’t sit back and watch it fade
Just take pride in what God made

You are who you are
Nobody but yourself (X2)

I’m nobody who are you?
Are you nobody too? (X2)

You are who you are
Nobody but yourself (X2)
