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 sit me down, and see I'm weak We will run and scream You will dance with me They'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 Was the fairest sun I'd ever seen And I was broke, I was on my knees And you said yes as I said please This ain't no sham I am what I am I leave no time for a cynic's mind We will run and scream You will dance with me Fulfill our dreams and we'll be free We will be who we are And they'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
