• You Are You (Instrumental) by Circlejourney

Letra:

You're a blessing, you are you
You are someone's light
You're a wish that someone had each time they cried
You're an angel, you're the sky
You're the joy that you deny
And there's nothing, nothing that can change that now

You're a blessing, you are you
You are someone's light
You're a wish that someone had each time they cried
You're an angel, you're the sky
You're the joy that you deny
And there's nothing, nothing that can change that now

I watch you walk without a light
Hopeless, lost, tangled in the night
Can it be someone rained on your show
Hate can be sharp as a knife I know
But tell me why do you turn away
And tell me who left these scars
You say your sky is dark and dead
But in your eyes I see the stars

You're a blessing, you are you
You are someone's light
You're a wish that someone had each time they cried
You're an angel, you're the sky
You're the joy that you deny
And there's nothing truer, don't you know?

You're not nothing, you are you
Let them tell their lies
This world you are the world in someone's eyes
Don't you say it's not deserved
You're the axis of their love
And there's nothing nothing that can that now

There may be questions that no one can answer
And there may be pain you don't understand
But you'll survive if you trust in the joy
That you haven't known

Don't say you are nothing, I would give the world for you
You may be flawed but you're no mistake
Take a deep breath till there's no sorrow left
And look up above, it's the sky you love

Can't you see your starlight?

My dear, please be my light
Oh, my dear, it's still the night
Don't think you are any less than wonderful

You're a blessing, you are you (My dear)
You are someone's light (Please be my light)
You're a wish that someone had (Oh, my dear)
Each time they cried (It's still the night)
you're an angel, you're the sky (Don't think you)
you're the joy that you deny (Are any less)
and there's nothing nothing that can change that (Than wonderful)

Angel, you're my sky
let them tell their lies
In this world you are the world in someone's eyes
Don't you say it's not deserved
You're the axis of my love
And there's nothing nothing that can change my mind

Circlejourney: (booklet commentary)

I remember, when I first wrote this song in 2012, that it was meant to be a song about “things I wish someone would say to me.”

I struggled a great deal with my mental health back then, with some family tragedies happening around that time, as well as a looming final exam that seemed like life or death.

I used to hate this song in particular, because I was deeply dissastisfied with how the vocals came out. Despite the warm compliments I received on the lyrics and composition, the vocals were a sticking point. Soon after posting it, I removed the vocal version (along with many others) from the internet.

In some strange way, my position is reversed now. I feel more like the person speaking the words of the song than the person it is addressed to, and I adjusted the lyrics to match (and also to match my new lyrical style).
