Inspired by lyrics to “Who You Really Are” Richard Mekdeci, Sage & Sue Riley
“I know who you really are – I see it in your eyes.
Oh, you are a shining star – I know who you really are!
Oh, I know who you’re here to be – I see it in your eyes:
A light for the world to see – I know who you’re here to be….
Oh, I know who you really are – I see it in your eyes.
Oh, you are a shining star – I know who you really are.
I know who you really are! (Don’t try to hide it, ‘cause)
I know who you really are!”
