We started out young, we rowed alongside
we bowed to the greats, with hope they guide,
the practice done, the shackles they breakfree
transformed they appear, but I'm still me
The doubt apparent, my silence betrays
when I'm done mulling they look away
they're hailed and commended, a job i can see
I can't put my finger on it, I'm just me
found safety in the crowd, tension at bay
the doubt of direction I fail to convey
the seeds i failed to see, arriere pensee
Can't blame anybody, 'cause I'm just me
I seem to understand them and their disdain
They are what I thought, with them I acquaint
They're not wrong for that's the way to be
But I'm still different, but then I'm just me
They're just them, cold and prejudiced
Respected they're biased enough to do this
Refuse to see the tail below head, underneath
They try to prove they're right, but I'm still me
I almost believe the face I see,
But I can see the wheels turning
Inside they're heads they're cunning
I can see through but smile, as I'm just me
Now they're great, glory to thee
They are content, in the place to be
I'm still looking, for answers I seek
discontent, lost, unbiased i sink deep
But I don't lose hope, sense prevails idiocy
I tread pondering, for I'm only me.
