Analysis of We are what we're supposed to be?
Liah Morgan 2008 (KY)
You are you
I am me
we are what
we're supposed to be
What I was
Is not who I am
Time can change
people from more than
hand to hand
But only you will ever know
I have lost everything
and gained back
And I am finally happy
where I am at
You are you
I am me
We are exactly
what we're supposed to be
for I am happy
that I am free
