Song Review: “For Who You Are (w/ Rissi Palmer)” by Eric Lee | A Rock Discovery

Lyrics of Eric Lee – For Who You Are (w/ Rissi Palmer)

For Who You Are
Written by Eric Lee McNeely

Some people hold on tight to every story they’ve been told
Hiding in the dark from the unknown
They’ll play your judge and jury and start firing up the tar,
But I swear I’ll always love you
For who you are

Some people go against the grain
Some stick to their own guns
But you keep your head high through all the dust
There’s beauty waiting in the mirror for anyone who wants
Oh I swear I’ll always love you
I swear I’ll always love you
I swear I’ll always love you
For who you are

Sometimes you gotta walk alone
Passed every heart that’s made of stone
Pushing on
‘Cause every day you bare your soul
Another follows on the road
So lay it down all on the line
‘Cause we ain’t got a thing to hide

Some sit and think of the good ol’ days
Some leave and catch a bus
But you’re diggin in the ground with your feet down in the weeds not giving up.
They try to cut you down ’cause you stand taller in the yard
But I swear I’ll always love you
I swear I’ll always love you
I swear I’ll always love you
For who you are

Sometimes you gotta walk alone
Passed every heart that’s made of stone
Pushing on
The beating heart with no regrets
The unsung hero, the blood and sweat.
Yeah, lay it down all on the line
‘Cause we ain’t got a thing to hide

You sit beside a martyr and you might share the same scars.
Oh I hope you’ll always love me
I hope you’ll always love me
I hope you’ll always love me
for what’s in my heart.
