The Part of Me that is You
Words and Music by Sue Riley and Richard Mekdeci ©2005

When the world tells me I’m less than whole
I hear these words, spoken from my soul,
“A child of mine will not inherit disease.”
Then I remember what my heart already knows.

Chorus
The part of me that is You, knows only health and wholeness.
The part of me that is You, knows only love and joy.
The part of me that is You, is divine and ageless.
Like a compass pointing to a north that’s true
I bless the part of me that is You.

When I feel my backs against the wall
I hear a voice say fight, but I refuse the call.
As your child I choose the higher road
And I know you’ll always be there if I fall.

Chorus

When my self-respect is fading fast
I’m frozen in the present, haunted by the past.
I look in the mirror and I see Your face.
And I remember what my heart already has.

Chorus

You are the truth of who I am.
I am a child of light.

Chorus
