Who are you?

Who are you?

I don’t only want to know your name
I want to know what calls you
And how to bring out the best in you

 I don’t only want to know where you’re from
I want to discover what unknown territories
You secretly wish to explore

 I won’t ask you what you studied and where
Tell me what your burning questions are
At this moment of your life

I won’t ask you at what time you go to bed
But what keeps you awake
And doesn’t let you sleep

I won’t ask you when you wake up in the morning
But what is that dream
That makes it worth it

Don’t tell me about your favourite food
Tell me what nourishes your soul
And fills you with love, hope and faith

Don’t tell me about your favourite actor
Tell me what you admire in that person
And what you are willing to cultivate in yourself

Don’t tell me about your favourite movie
Tell me about your own quest
And the type of hero you are

I don’t want to know how much money you have
But what filled those moments that made you feel
Like the richest person on Earth

I don’t want you to try to impress me
Telling me how great you are
I want you to trust me enough
To show me the shadows of your ego

 I won’t ask you what time it is
Because we both know it’s time to start
It’s time to be true, to open up our hearts
And share who we really are.

Now I ask you again : who are you?

Who are you?

Don’t ask me my name
Ask me what calls me
And how to bring out the best in me

Don’t ask me where I’m from
Ask me what unknown territories
I secretly wish to explore

Don’t ask me what I studied and where
Ask me what my burning questions are
At this moment of my life

Don’t ask me at what time I go to bed
But what keeps me awake
And doesn’t let me sleep

Don’t ask me when I wake up in the morning
But what is that dream
That makes it worth it

Don’t ask me about my favourite food
Please, ask me to share what nourishes my soul
And fills it with love, hope and faith

Don’t ask me about my favourite actor
But what I admire in that person
And what I am willing to cultivate in myself

Don’t ask me about my favourite movie
Ask me about my own quest
And the type of hero I am

Don’t ask me how much money I have
But what filled those moments that made me feel
Like the richest person on Earth

Don’t encourage me to impress you
Telling you how great I am
Give me enough space to show you
The shadows of my ego

Don’t ask me what time it is
We both know it’s time to start
It’s time to be true, to open up our hearts
And share who we really are

Now, please, ask me: who are you?
And listen between the notes of my silences
