I am the true vine.
I am the good shepherd.
I am the gate for the sheep.
I am the light of the world.
I am the resurrection and the life.
I am the way, the truth, and the life.

I am the boy who misses his mom.
I am the boy who lives in fear.
I am the boy who makes his girlfriend happy.
I am the girl who smiles through her pain.
