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
And 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 (Made from the same sky)
We've shared a trail of tears
Way too many years, no

You're a part of me
I'm a part of you
You're a part of me
Take me as I am
