Wannabe
Discovering True Identity: Embracing Who I Wannabe
Lyrics
I was just walking home
I was casually walking home.
iPod and my headphones on
I had my iPod and headphones on.
Thinking 'bout who I wanna be
I was contemplating who I aspire to become.
TV, magazines and the billboards
Media like TV, magazines, and billboards are influencing my perception.
All say I'd be cool if I had more
Media suggests that I'd be considered cool if I had more possessions.
But that's a lie I must ignore
Recognizing that this suggestion is a lie, and I need to ignore it.
This world just keeps on trying
The world persistently attempts to shape my identity.
But it ain't satisfying
Despite these efforts, the world's offerings are not fulfilling.
This hunger in my soul
I feel a hunger in my soul.
'Cause they don't even know
Others around me lack understanding about who I truly am.
That my identity
My true identity is more than what is externally visible.
Is more than what they see
It is rooted in the One who came to liberate me.
It's in the One who came to set me free
My identity is in the liberator, allowing me to be free.
So I can be who I wannabe
I can be the person I aspire to be.
Gotta friend lives down the road
I have a friend living nearby.
Livin' life like a TV show
This friend is living life akin to a scripted TV show.
But his big ol' house is not a home (nah nah nah nah)
Despite material success, his big house lacks the warmth of a true home.
Gotta Benz, got friends but he's not sure
He has a luxury car and friends, but doubts their loyalty in times of need.
Would they be there if he was poor
Questioning whether these friends would stand by him if he faced poverty.
That's not the life I'm looking for
This lifestyle is not the one the speaker is seeking.
