New code joins this earth
different from the rest
they attempted to subdue
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy mimes their rules
with time the child learns
their foolish ways
this whipping boys takes the lashes of their sins
yet still he has his own thoughts and dreams
he tirelessly struggles on
a vow onto his own
he will try to show them the way
such a noble cause to make a world a better place
his will they can't take away
everything I've felt
everything i've known
has shined through and soon I will show
what I couldn't be
what they couldn't see
just goes to show how much greater I am destined to be
What I feel
What I know
Has shined through to what I show
I am me
I am free
You can't see what I see
You are forgiven
They dedicated their lives
to trying to sabotage his
He tried to show them the way
this untiring man he is
through his life he never stops
this fight must never end for then does the story
this untiring man they see is eternally strong in his developing ideals
this incredible un-ageing man lives without regrets
You see this incredible un-aging man is me.
What I've felt
What I know
Is now shining through to what I show
I am me
I am free
You can't see what I can see
You will live
you will love
you will lose yourself
to someone else
you will grow old
and so will your children
and theirs
I will always stay the same
(solo)
What I feel
What I know
is now shining through
to what I show
I am me
I am free
you can't see what I can see
What I feel
What I know
Is now shining through
to what I show
I am free
I am me
You can't see what I see
You are forgiven
wo oo o....
(solo)
I am free
I am me
you are forgiven
You will live
you will love
you will lose yourself
to someone else
and grow old
and so will your children
and theirs
I will always stay the same
you tried to label me
but I defy labels
you are forgiven
I am free
I am me
you can't see what I see
I love you
I forgive you
One day I will miss you
You tried to label me
but I defy labels
you can't see what I see
you are forgiven
I am free
I am me
you are forgiven
