Like a heart left on my sleeve
These tattoos cover me
Like names carved into a tree
All these memories
Wake me up and rinse my eyes
Baptized today I'm free
One thing that I'm gonna
Is be all I can be
If you can lift your head
Than you can rise on up
Right now I am
Standing here
Oh take me as I am
Oh take me as I am
Won't you take me as I am
Like a stranger in a foreign land
That's how I feel in Tennessee
The good lord made us equal but
It don't feel that way to me
Everyday reminders that
I'm different let me be (my skins mahogany)
We can change the world
If we stop judging what we see
If you can lift your head
Than you can rise up
I'm on my way
To a brighter day
Won't you hold my hand
It'll be ok
