What makes a person, a person?

Cindy

What makes a person, a person?

Is it all the memories they've made?

Of every state they've been in, every version

They've ever laid.

 

What makes a person think of one

In a certain way?

Is it all the actions they've done,

Until the day we call today?

 

What defines a human being?

What makes us call them what they're called?

Is it all the places they've been seeing

And all the souls they've left enthralled?

 

Every moment they've shared,

Whether up upon their sorrow,

Every heart they've repaired,

And all the pieces left for tomorrow.

 

A person's name

Isn't just to identify,

It's their hall of fame,

And every voice they amplify.

 

A person's name

Holds all their miracles,

The story to what they became,

All expressed in a few syllables.
