Your eyes they tie me down so hard.
I'll never learn to put up a guard.
So keep my love, my candle bright.
Learn me hard, oh learn me right.
This ain't no sham.
I am what I am.
Though I may speak some tongue of old.
Or even spit out some holy word
I have no strength from which to speak.
When you send me down and see I'm weak.
We'll you run and scream, you will dance with me.
We'll fulfill our dreams and we'll be free.
And we will be who we are and they'll heal our scars.
Sadness will be far away.
So as we walked through fields of green
It was the fairest sun I'd never seen.
And i was broke, I was on my knees.
You said, «yes» as I said, «please»
This ain't no sham.
I am what I am.
I'll leave no tide for a cynic's mind.
We will run and scream, you'll dance with me.
Fulfill our dreams and we'll be free.
We will be who we are, and we'll heal our scars.
Sadness will be far away.
Do not let my fickle flesh go to waste.
As it keeps my heart and soul in it's place.
And I will love with urgency but not with haste.
