Lyrics
"Am I Who I’m Supposed To Be?"
(Lyrics - M. Sass, M. Novak - Music - M. Novak)
As I look back over my life
I think about the mortgage, kids and wives
They say time marches on and it took me along
On the highs and the lows, the ebbs and the flows
So asked out loud to no one I could see
Is this who I’m supposed to be?
Sure I had dreams of big money and fame
But I worked and I waited but none of that came
I’ve sacrificed so they all could have more
And to make sure they knew I’d be back through that door
So I asked out loud to no one I could see
Am I who I’m supposed to be?
CHORUS:
How do you know
How do you know How do you know
Do I know who I’m supposed to be
How do you know How do you know
How do you know is this who I’m supposed to be?
How do you know How do you know
How do you know
This is who I’m supposed to be
Are you who you’re supposed to be?
I never thought my life would turn out this way
I didn’t see the exit sign on life’s highway
Now I work at the end of the day
Sometimes at the end you have no say
Things happen by chance in life’s chaotic dance
Life ignores my ambitions and I fall into traditions
Now the race is almost over for me And still I ask
Am I who I’m supposed to be?
As I fade to black and take a long look back
This is who I was supposed to be.
CHORUS:
How do you know How do you know
I don’t think I’ll ever know
Do I know who I’m supposed to be
How do you know How do you know
I don’t know I’ll never know
Is this who I’m supposed to be?
How do you know How do you know
How do you Know?
How do you know How do you know
This is who I’m supposed to be
