I Am Lyrics

I am a fuse lit burn and glow, so you'd better get away
If you can't defuse I will explode, look at this mess I've made
I am the hero I am the snake caught in both lives
Look past the fangs and just see the cape
We'll pretend that it's alright
But you see who I am, underneath it all

I am redemption, I am whole
I am a tragic wreck made perfect by a love I can't control
I am determined to be defined by my hits not just my misses
Stand up tall and say that this is who I am

I am addiction wrapped in a blanket of self control
That's worn so thin and tattered that the air seeps through the holes
I am admission to a history of falling short
A past that's held me captive from accepting I am Yours
But I am Yours, underneath

I am redemption, I am whole
I am a tragic wreck made perfect by a love I can't control I am determined to be defined by my hits not just my misses
Stand up tall and say that this is who I am

I am perfectly created with imperfect operation
I'm sure to steer myself somewhere that I do not belong
I am perfectly created with imperfect operation
I'll put my hope in grace and know I'm never too far gone

I am redemption, I am whole
I am a tragic wreck made perfect by a love I can't control
I am determined to be defined by my hits not just my misses
Stand up tall and say that this is
My redemption, my reward
I am a tragic wreck made perfect by a love I don't deserve
I am determined to be defined by my hits not just my misses
Stand up tall and say that this is who I am
Who I am, who I am
