| JUST LET ME BE ME |
DON'T GIVE ME HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBLIGE. DON'T ASK ME FOR THE HEAVENS FOR I MAY NOT REACH THE SKY. DON'T ASK ME FOR THE OCEANS FOR I CAN NOT BOTTLE THE SEA. DON'T ASK ME FOR WORDLY RICHES FOR THEY MAY BE BEYOND MY MEANS. YOU MAY ASK ME TO BE YOUR HERO BUT I HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT ANY HEROIC FEATS I PERFORM ARE JUST THE NORMAL ACTIONS OF THIS SIMPLE MAN. YOU MAY ASK ME FOR MY FAITH IN YOU WRAPPED AND BOUND WITH HONESTY AND TRUST. YOU MAY ASK FOR MY UNDERSTANDING AS A PART OF MY CARING AND AFFECTIONATE LOVE. I AM NOT A CARPENTER SO I CAN NOT BUILD YOU A HOUSE. I AM NOT A PHILOSOPHER SO AT TIMES I MAY HAVE MY DOUBTS. I AM NOT A BANKER WHO HAS MONEY FLOWING FROM HIS HANDS. I AM JUST WHO I AM, A MAN WHO CAN LOVE AND UNDERSTAND. IF YOU CAN LOOK INTO MY EYES AND SEE YOUR DESTINY, THEN PLACE YOUR HAND UPON MY CHEEK AS TO NEVER SET ME FREE, AND SHOW ME YOU ACCEPT ME FOR AS I AM AND WILL DO SO WILLINGLY, AND DEEP INSIDE YOUR HEART YOU ARE WILLING TO JUST LET ME BE ME. |
