Plumb's song "Who Am I?" is a reflective piece that questions the validity of comparing one's own suffering to another's. The lyrics address a person who appears to have everything but is empty inside, and another who is weary and unheard. The chorus repeatedly asks, "Who am I to compare my pain to yours?" suggesting that suffering is deeply personal and meaningful. The song moves from a sense of insignificance to a realization that suffering does mean something, both to the individual and to God. It touches on themes of empathy, humility, and the redemptive purpose of pain, offering a quiet, contemplative perspective on human struggle and divine understanding.

You there with your bag of gold
Thought you had it all together
But your hands are empty
Does it matter now
The pain it caused you cannot measure
But who am I?
[Chorus:]
Who am I to compare my pain to yours?
Suffering is sweet agony
Who am I to compare my pain to yours?
My suffering must mean nothing
So, hey there, quit imagining
That you have left this life
Your eyes are tired and your feet are worn
No, no one seems to hear your desperate cries
But who am I?
[Repeat Chorus]
If I believe that's the truth
Then I believe you
If that's the way it should be
Then I believe you
[Repeat Chorus]
Who am I to compare my pain to yours?
Suffering is sweet agony
Who am I to compare my pain to yours?
My suffering must mean something
Must mean somthing to you, to me
It's true
Who am I?
