James Songbook - 1. The Riddle of Me
The Riddle of Me
I’m not weak because I’m gentle,
I’m in a tempest but I’m not tossed,
I’m not quiet because I’m shy,
I’m not a loser because I lost.
Things aren’t what they seem with me,
I just want to love and be free
I am the enigma that you see
Bound by chains you can not see
Bearing scars that will not heal
Wondering what it is I feel
Wondering what it is that’s real
I’m not lost because I wander,
I’m not found because I’m home.
I’m not sad because I frown,
I’m not happy when I’m a clown.
Things aren’t what they seem with me,
I just want to live and be free
I am the enigma you see
Bound by chains you can not see
Bearing scars that will not heal
Wondering what it is I feel
Wondering what it is that’s real
I’m by myself but I’m not alone,
I’m alive but cold as stone,
I’m broken but not shattered,
Lost the only thing that mattered.
Things aren’t what they seem with me,
I just want to love and be free
I am the enigma you see
Bound by chains you can not see
Bearing scars that will not heal
Wondering what it is I feel
Wondering what it is that’s real
I’m alive but haven’t lived
I’ve lost so much but I want to give
The memory of your face
Is my only saving grace
I will be with you again
Where there is no fear
And no shadows fall.
