I Wouldn't Be (Live from Irving Plaza, NYC, 4 Dec 2018)

I wouldn't be who I am, without you

I wouldn't sing the way I sing, without you

You fill my eyes up with color

And you'll always be my mother

I wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be the son that I am

Without a father who showed me I can face all the bullies at school

You taught me how to keep my cool

I wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be the brother I am

Without a sister who understands my ambitions and dreams

We always were on the same team

I wouldn't be who I am

Without the people

We don't see no more

And all the imperfections on my skin

The family tree, with its branches around me

Oh, I just wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be the human I am

Without the friends that let me fly and help me land

Our foundations go deep

I'll always have a place to sleep

I wouldn't be who I am
