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 now release the limits of the past and let my light shine in this bright New Year.
Peace begins with me in 2023!
