lyrics

You know it’s not about who you are
Or about what is your name
It’s not about how you might define yourself, truly
As all of these things are the same

It’s not about the cool people who you like
And it’s not about if those cool people like you
It’s not about what it was you ended up being
Or what it was you wanted to do

And it’s not about how much you tried
And it’s not about how much you cried
And it’s not about how much you thought you understood
Or was lost in falsehood and pride

And it’s not about anything that you wrote
And it’s certainly not about the things you wore
Not about how filled up your long, long days
Or about who, or what you saw

And it’s not about the fancy things that you did
And it’s not about the pretty things that you made
And it’s not about the juicy facts that you learned
Or about how hard, how hard you prayed

Because it’s truly not about what you believed
And nor is it about how you were deceived
It’s not about what you thought it was about
If you had faith, or you had doubt
Were denied, or received

In the end it’s about not being thrown
By any illusion which you are shown
So that you don’t get swayed
By any turbulent wave,
On the course you’ve been blown
