me-not you
thats just me
can't-cha see?
i am who i wanna be
and you cant make me
somethin im not.
i mean im not hot.
i am me. im not you.
i ain't little boy blue
i ain't the girl in the shoe
you can try to make me
take me
try and change me its impossible to do.
how can i be you?
find me
lie to me
change my clothes, cut my hair
im still there
aint nothin you can do about it.
dont doubt it
this is me not you.
do whatcha wanna do.
im still the same inside.
thats one thing i'll refuse to hide.
its my life
my being
the one thing to which i cling
my individuality
its what makes me me
thats the thing about you.
you act like someones watchin everything you do
like someone's writin it all down
makin not a sound
hidin from you there
cant mess up
or else you'll wake the feds up
they'll throw you in jail
then what?
what are they gonna say,
waitin there on judgement day
standin in front of God,
the one and true
is he gonna know you?
is your name etched there in the book of life?
he'll look once twice, maybe thrice
will it be there?
will you stay?
or will you be sent to hell that judgement day?
lookin back at how this life has gone by,
you used to sit in your crib and cry.
you were hungry, maybe thirsty.
one thing you were not was worthy.
none of us were at that time and place
but when you grow up, you earn a new face
well, some of us do
we became new.
askin christ, the lord of all
to help us not to take the fall
he died for us and the things we do
even way before we knew.
at the beginning of time,
man was not to blame
but adam and eve,
not adam and steve,
took that apple and made us sinners.
now how could we be winners?
man is sinful and cruel
and he builds a new tool
just to tear down what he built.
how do we not feel the guilt?
but ask christ into your heart
and be prepared to make a new start.
