Take Me As I Am

Take me as I am

For I am just like you

We're made from the same hand

Born of the same land

Take me as I am

I haven't said a word

The dreams I have are real

No matter how absurd

Life is just a wish

Some of us hold dear

Tethered by a thread

Held back by our fears

No matter where you're from

All that you can do

Is live in love, that's enough

Take me as I am (take me as I am)

I feel you in my heart (feel you in my heart)

We fill the same space

No matter how far apart

Take me as I am (take me as I am)

For I am just like you (I am just like you)

You're a part of me

I'm a part of you

Oh, why can't we share this world?

There is always room

For those who dare to love

Meet me with a smile

And I will be your friend

And care for you 'til the end

Take me as I am

For I am just like you

You're a part of me

I'm a part of you

Oh, don't take away my life (don't take away my life)

Oh, 'cause we're made from the same sky (we're made from the same sky)

We've shared a trail of tears

Way too many years

You're a part of me

I'm a part of you

You're a part of me

Take me as I am
