Ivan Peroti - Take Me As I Am lyrics

rate me

I work ten jobs, it aint fun

But I do what I gotta do to get it done

At least I know, when I come home

I dont have to answer to anyone

See, I might never have much more

Than what Ive got right now

But I know who I am

And that sure makes me proud

Im a friend, Im a son, Im a father, Im a brother

Im me and Im you and I bleed like any other

I feel love, hope and pain, for my mistakes Ill take the blame

So here I stand, take me as I am

Oh take me as I am

Some dreams fade, others shine

But Im gonna keep on dreamin

A house any other, a front porch swing

Wife and kids just love me

And I dont need to look no further

Past these county lines

See the ways that Ive been blessed

Here in this land of mine

Im a friend, Im a son, Im a father, Im a brother

Im me and Im you and I bleed like any other

I feel love, hope and pain, for my mistakes Ill take the blame

So here I stand, take me as I am

You can hit me with your storms

You can torch me with your flames

Throw everything youve got at me

But that wont change a thing

Cause my will is made of solid rock

My heart is made of gold

See where Im from, dont you know

Im a friend, Im a son, Im a father, Im a brother

Im me and Im you and I bleed like any other

I feel love, hope and pain, for my mistakes Ill take the blame

So here I stand, here I stand

Im a friend, Im a son, Im a father, Im a brother

Wont you take me?

You better take me as I am
