They were not mine
Sitting there doing my business
Just looked like the rest of what passed
Stood up and went about my business for the day
Voices in my head say it’s all okay
Just another day, but feels a little different
Friends here, friends there
Not sure who they all are
Voices in my head say it’s all okay
Yesterday, today, tomorrow
What will I do, who do I listen to
Must take a look at who all these friends are
Voices in my head say it’s all okay
They told me all along who I am
Listened to every word that sounded so sincere
Looking in the mirror, not so sure
Voices in my head say it’s all okay
Time goes on, my world passes by
Friends come, friends go
Some never leave
Voices in my head say it’s all okay
Thought I knew who I was
They all said this is me
After all, who’s to question what they say
Voices in my head say it’s all okay
Never questioned all the advice
Induced to think like they, them, but never me
Never felt quite right
Voices in my head say it’s all okay
A battle rages inside
Me and them
Time to reconcile the differences
The voices begin to subside
Letting the sunlight shine through to the inside
I found me, it was not who they said
It took so long, where was I?
Voices in my head…where are they?
Looking deep inside, letting the light shine in
I see me, I know who I am
This is how I started, there is only one me
Voices…yes, how deceptive they have been
Today, the voices left me
They were not mine…just an illusion
Made to believe I was something other
Voices…whose voices? Mine, not theirs
Struggles of the past are now past
Didn’t know it then, wasn’t quite sure
Today, the questions are gone, I know who I am
The voice in my head is now mine
