Who am I cuz I don't recognize myself
When I've looked in the mirror lately I've seen somebody else
I feel like I've been somebody else for years
Maybe that's why I've been shedding so many tears
A look around at the Crumbling pieces of a broken Man
I feel like a complete stranger in a foreign land
I remember when I used to hold to God's unchanging hand
I can't remember when I let it go it started drowning in quicksand
I feel like I lost this mental and spiritual battle without throwing a punch
But I remember I didn't hear a bell so it's time to get back up
The battling and fighting  are still going so I didn't lose
Just a little swollen battered and bruised
So I'm reaching back out to my Lord for his help
Cuz I know I can't fix my life through anyone else
The broken man will mend with God's grace piece by piece
And in his presence find true and lasting  peace
The foreign land becomes familiar ground once more
As I reclaim the person I am fighting for
He will guide my steps and show me who I'm meant to be
beyond the pain a clearer path I'll see
With his light I'll find my way back home inside my soul
He will make these fractured pieces finally whole
The stranger in the glass will fade replaced by whom I meant to be
A true reflection and a man finally free
