You are who you are

You are who you are
when your life gets tough.
When your plans fall through and the going gets rough;
Only there, only then, will your true colors show.
Only There, and only then, will you ever truly know.

That you are who you are
when only you seem to care.
When you act before you think,
When you take, when you share.
And when tomorrow seems bleak, and the world is unfair
You are who you are as you stand right there.

You are who you are,
No words are more true.
So don’t try to be somebody,
When you can only be you.
And when your will seems to fade, like clouds in the sky,
Remember, you are who you are
When you laugh, when you cry

‘Vanity, all is Vanity’
