about

I tried to name this song something else, but each person that saw the original title said I must keep it. Writing this song began as a simple exercise: If a painter can paint a self portrait, could a songwriter write a self portrait? I began thinking about themes in my life others had pointed out over the years; about my personality, my experiences. This quickly grew into more of a juxtaposition between how others saw me and how I saw myself. Which then led into being about how I wanted to see myself. So I’m not fully comfortable owning the title of this song. But I do think the realities in this song are true for each and every one of us. This is how each of us are viewed. So maybe this song, in a sense, can be each of our own self portraits.

lyrics

You walked the line
A thousand times
Seen the good and the bad
From both sides

A depth's been sown
Your heart has grown
In triumph and trial
You've been known

You are loved
You are loved

You're the quietest rebel I know
You won't live your life for the show
You're creatively complex and unique
A kaleidoscope of beauty

You are loved
You are loved

Such divine artwork
When you were formed
What you could not earn
Was already yours

You're free to be bravely you
Because of this great truth

You are loved
You are loved
