I am the day, I am the dawn
I am the sparrow's morning song
I'm the white light at your window when you wake
I'm the first, I am the last
I'm shadows from your broken past
Cast in gold and shining in the sun
I'm the lion, I'm the lamb
I am the son of Abraham
And I'm his father holding up the blade
So don't you make this about me
I'm right where I have always been
You ask, but you're not listening
My darling, don't you make this about me
I am stone, I'm a choice
I'm thunder in a still small voice
I'm a screaming whisper in the wind
I am love without the loss
I'm freedom come without the cost
I'm the king, the keeper of the keys
I am home, I'm the lifeboat
I am the long and winding road
I'm the only shelter that you need
So don't you make this about me
I'm right where I have always been
You ask, but you're not listening
My darling, don't you make this about me
Well trust me man, I am your friend
Seen worse things done to better men
So go on home, you're gonna make a scene
Hold your tongue, put down that pen
No, don't go spreading lies again
Don't cut me down with every song you sing
Go on, write another one
It'll sound like all the other ones
If you don't move, then they don't mean a thing
Don't you make this about me
I'm right where I have always been
You ask, but you're not listening
My darling, don't you make this about me
My darling, don't you make this about me
