As I Am
[Lyrics by John Petrucci]
Don'
Tell me what's i
Tell me how to writ
Don't tell me how to wi
This figh
Isn't your lif
It isn't your righ
To take the only thing that'
Mine
Proven over tim
It's over your hea
Don't try to read between th
Line
Are clearly define
Never lose sight o
Something you believe in
Takin' in the view from the outsid
Feeling like the underdo
Watching through the window I'm on the outsid
Living like the underdog
I've been trying to justify yo
In the end I will just defy you
To those who understand, I extend my han
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I a
Not under your command, I know where I stan
I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am
As I am
Stil
Running uphil
Swimming against the curren
I wish I weren't s
Fucke
Feels like I'm stuc
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
''Slow down
You're thinking too muc
Where is your soul?'
You cannot touc
The way
Pla
Or tell me what to sa
You're in the wa
Of all that I believe in
Takin' in the view from the outsid
Feeling like the underdo
Watching through the window I'm on the outsid
Living like the underdo
I've been wasting my breath on yo
Open minds will descend upon you
To those who understand, I extend my han
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I a
Not under your command, I know where I stan
I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am
