What Makes Me Me

What makes me, me?
I am too ordinary
I have nothing more to offer
Than my wide-eyed wonder at the world

Curved moss, birdsong
The soft skin of birch bark
The kindness of strangers
Pink stones and warm sand

Why, why, why?
You're always wondering why
I, I, I have to stay strong
To smile anyway

Ooh
"It's not that hard"
You tell me they say

I don't wanna have to tell you
I remember one winter
You told me my Pollyanna views were disquieting

And why, why, why?
You're always wondering why
I, I, I have to stay strong
To smile anyway
To smile anyway
