Who Will Love Me as I Am? - Erin Davie/Emily Padgett/Henry Krieger/Bill Russell
Like a fish plucked from the ocean
Tossed into a foreign stream
Always knew that I was different
Often fled into a dream
I ignored the raging current
Right against the tide I swam
But I floated with the question
Who will love me as I am
Like an odd exotic creature
On display inside a zoo
Hearing children asking questions
Makes me ask some questions too
Could we bend the laws of nature
Could a lion love a lamb
Who could see beyond this surface
Who will love me as I am
Who will ever call to say I love you
Send me flowers or a telegram
Who could proudly stand beside me
Who will love me as I am
Like a clown whose tears 'cause laughter
Trapped behind the painting nice
Even seeing smiling faces
I still feel like have to ask
Who would want to join this madness
Who would change my monogram
Who will be part of my circus
Who will love me as I am
Who will ever call to say I love you
Send me flowers or a telegram
Who could proudly stand beside me
Who will love me as I am
Who could proudly stand beside me
Who will love me as I am
