Lyrics to “I Know Who You Really Are” — Words and Music by Richard Mekdeci, Sue Riley, Sage 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.
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.
You’re here to be the one, you’re here to make it fun.
You’ve really got my head spinning.
You brighten every room, you always leave too soon
And, this is just the beginning.
I know who you really are, I see it in your eyes.
Oh, you are a shining star, I know who you really are.
You are incredible, so unforgettable —
The one that everyone’s eyeing.
You are an awesome friend, and so magnificent,
And, there is just no denying.
I know who you really are, I see it in your eyes.
Oh, you are a shining star, I know who you really are.”

Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh” (Mt. 2:9-11).
