Lyrics:
V1
Like ev’ry kid
I would study the sky
Dazzled by stars
The how the why
And I’d think to myself
Oh WOW! There must be hundreds
…Well, not even close
Chorus
Don’t know who I am
Just who I’ve been
Through a prism that shows
All I’ve done, all I’ve seen
...No stopping at what went before
There’ll always be more
V2
Like everyone
I would study the heart
Dazzled by love
Especially the start
And I’d think to myself
Oh WOW! It won’t be painful
…Well, not even close
Chorus
Don’t know who I am
Just who I’ve been
Through a prism that shows
All I’ve done, all I’ve seen
...No stopping at what went before
There’ll always be more
Bridge
Only two questions concern me now
…Whether I’m a tumbleweed
Or an angel still on course
Whether I'm directionless
Or returning to the Source
Chorus
Don’t know who I am
Just who I’ve been
Through a prism that shows
All I’ve done, all I’ve seen
...No stopping at what went before
There’ll always be more

I loved Donna's lyrics and you've captured them with such finesse and amazing vocals! I got goosebumps. Brilliant collaboration!
lovely vocal and guitar work in the Joan Baez style, lovely work - like the gentle harmonies.
Gorgeous ballad. The poetry and the insight in the lyrics is delivered so perfectly. Love your vocals as they soar in this song. The bridge works really well. Great collaboration. Love the hook.
This is a fantastic collaboration, with a great, yearning lyric and a beautiful melody and vocals.
Nice yes i liked the lyrics and this is very Joanne. Nice

Your vocals are so great.
And after the first verse, when the beat comes on... come on! that just works. Build it up! Nice.
I loved these lyrics of Donna's and they are worthy of this lovely tune Joanne. Really brought the words to life. So lovely
My goodness! This is fantastic! You've really captured Donna's lyrics in such wonderful way. Beautiful read and listen.
Strong collab you two. That chorus is a killer. The harmonic change in the bridge got my attention too. Nice work.
