- "You don't even know yourself"
—Madison Beer
"Who Am I?" is a song from the 2014 film version of the Annie musical, co-written by Sia, and performed by actors Cameron Diaz, Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis in the film. This is one of a few original songs in the soundtrack not based on existing ones from the Annie Broadway musical.
Lyrics
Who am I, what have I become?
Do I stand for something, or for money?
Who am I, where's my good girl gone?
You know I had a good heart once, you see
Who am I, now that my armor's worn?
I gave you what I didn't know I needed
Who am I, now that my heart has won?
I didn't know I need... anyone
But I've got today, I've got to make
The best I can of it.
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone
And me along with it
I want to start again, so I'll look within
Remember when I'd want in?
'Cause I don't know who I've become
But I will trust in it
Who am I to spend my life alone?
Forever looking for some place to call home
Who am I, about to meet myself?
This should feel right but something don't
I want to start again, so I'll look within
Remember when I'd want in?
'Cause I don't know who I've become
But I will trust in it. I will trust in it But today, I've got to make
The best I can of it
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone
And me along with it
I want to start again
Who am I, what have I become?
Am I for love, or for money?
Who am I, why I'd've dropped that gun?
I had a good heart once, you see
Who am I, now that the armor's gone?
You gave what I didn't know I needed
Who am I, now that my heart has won?
I didn't know it needed feeding
I've got today, I've got to make
The best I can of it
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone
And me along with it
This is happening, so I'll look within
Remember what I wanted
'Cause I don't know who I've become
But I will trust in it, I'll trust in it
Who am I, with the brand new bed
Was it placed to lay in my head?
And who am I, if I carry that?
Who am I, more than just friends?
I've got today, I've got to make
The best I can of it
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone
And me along with it
This is happening, so I'll look within
Remember what I wanted
'Cause I don't know who I've become
But I will trust in it, I'll trust in it
Who am I? Who am I?
And how would I sleep tonight?
Who am I?
What was I hoping about?
I've got today, I've got to make
The best I can of it
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone
And me along with it
This is happening, so I'll look within
Remember what I wanted
'Cause I don't know who I've become
But I will trust in it, I'll trust in it
