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 its place
And I will love with urgency but not with haste
