Lyrics
Two questions older than language define a person when they choose to answer them:  
Who are you?  
What do you want?  

Science fiction author Joe Michael Straczynski posed these questions from two elder races in *Babylon 5*. 

"What do you want?" is a question that resonates with commerce and children. It predates delayed gratification. When you answer this question, you surrender your authority to the one asking it. This is natural for children and the immature. Imposing this choice on children infantilizes them. This is why irresponsible authorities, under the guise of responsibility, are forcing children to make lifelong choices before they are ready—making them choose sexual preferences before they are mature, and locking down these choices before they are adults. Recent surveys show that mental illness is very high among young left-wing women but very low among old conservative males. This response to the question "What do you want?" is telling.

"Who are you?" is a question that, when answered, encodes integrity. It connects with family and authority. It places one in a community. Answering "Who are you?" gives hope for advancement as it provides a foundation for what has happened. I am not my father's choices, but I am a product of the choices he made.

God has answered both of these questions in the Bible. God has not asked for anything beyond what He is due. But in response to the question "Who are you?" God tells us, "I am."
