"As I Am" lyrics

As I Am

I could use a rainbow right about now
A minor miracle
I would not turn down
But human condition's
Gotten way out of hand
It's so hard to be just who I am

I could use some magic
To break this spell
A rope or a ladder
To climb out of this well
I'm so tired of changing
To fit someone else's plans
I need someone who wants me as I am

As I am
Without a single word of compromise
So I won't have to hide
Behind some clever disguise
That only works for a while
I want someone who wants me as I am

Maybe on a sunny day
Without any clouds
A friendly face
Will step out of the crowd
My future companion
Who will meet me where I stand
Someone who wants me as I am

As I am
Without a single word of compromise
So I won't have to hide
Behind some clever disguise
That only works for a while
So if fate wants to give me one more chance
Make it someone who wants me
As I am
