KNOW WHO YOU ARE
Music & Lyrics by Satori
Mateu
As a person who seeks the truth
in what makes people do what they do, I often hear
people say they don't love themselves or know what
their life is really about. This song was inspired
by the many people I've had the privilege to help.
I want this song to be a wake up call for all of us,
including myself, to be who we really are and not
live by the hypnosis of our past, nor by how other
people think we should live. Remember, you're much
stronger, more intelligent and resourceful than you,
and possibly the people around you, may give you credit
for. If you're here right now, which I know you are
since you're reading these words, I know you're special.
You say you want to be happy
But you don’t know how
You say you want to find true love
But you can’t find the right one
Please, let me tell you something
You’re not a victim
Hey, I know what you’re feeling
Because I’ve been there before
If you want to be happy
You’ve got to make up your mind
Stop making up stories
Why you can’t have what you want
If you want to be free
Chorus:
How can you be yourself
if you don’t know who you are?
How can you feel alive
if you don’t tell yourself the truth?
How can you love yourself
when you don’t even know yourself?
Nothing really matters
until you know who you are, know who you are
You say you don’t love yourself
You can’t control what you feel
Nobody cares about your insecurities
If you really want to make a change
You’ve got to be who you are
I would never betray your trust
Just hear what I have to say
If you want to be happy
You’ve got to make up your mind
Stop making up stories
Why you can’t have what you want
If you want to be free
Chorus:
How can you be yourself
if you don’t know who you are?
How can you feel alive
if you don’t tell yourself the truth?
How can you love yourself
when you don’t even know yourself?
Nothing really matters
until you know who you are, know who you are
Everywhere I go
I see people like you
Telling themselves they don’t know what to do
What’s the reason we’re so confused
Letting the world dictate our every move
Can’t you see what you got to do
Repeat Chorus
