Inspired by lyrics to “I Am the Thinker” by Sue Riley:
“I am the thinker who thinks the thought that changes things that shape my life. I am the thinker who thinks the thought. I have the power to change my life….
If you ask me “Who am I?” I am wisdom, I am light. I am more than meets the eye. I cannot be defined….
If you ask me “What am I?” I am beauty, I am joy. I am more than meets the eye. I cannot be defined….
I can choose to be the light that brightens someone’s darkest night. I’m so much more than meets the eye. I cannot be defined.
I am the thinker who thinks the thought that changes things that shape my life. I am the thinker who thinks the thought. I have the power to change my life.”
