Lyrics of Who Am I?

This planet, the world we live on
Powerful and mighty
Endless beauty and mystery
I realized how small I am
Why should the world care for me?

Walking along the highway 
With all I owned on my back
The sun shined brightly in a sky of blue
But to me the world seemed black
The cars went roaring past me
People seeking dreams and destinations
I had no desire to join them
I had no expectations

I gazed at the metal steeds once more
As they kept on flying by
I began to ponder
Then I wondered

Chorus
Who am I? Where do I belong?
Is this the place I’ve searched for all along?
I’m just a speck of dust, but I’m asking for the honest truth!
(pause)
Oh tell me, who am I?

Stumbling across the desert floor
Way back in my youth
All I was looking for
Was the honest truth
Sweat dripping from my brow
From my canteen I took a drink
It was almost to hot to think
The desert sand was scorching
The air was so dry
The desert floor would boil water
On a rock an egg would fry

I set up camp as the sun went down
I watched the moon go high
Again I pondered...then I wondered

Chorus
Who am I? Where do I belong?
Is this the place I’ve searched for all along?
I’m just a speck of dust, but I’m asking for the honest truth!
Oh tell me, who am I, who am I?

I remember walking down by the ocean
What a magnificent sight to see
I yelled hello hello hello
But she didn't notice me
I looked up into the swirling sky
Saw the clouds go flying by

And I wondered, oh how I wondered.
Who am I? Where do I belong?
Is this the place I’ve searched for all along?
I’m just a speck of dust, but I’m asking for the honest truth!
Oh tell me, who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?
