I Am - Philmont

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
