"Just As You Are" lyrics

Wake up, dad! Dad! Dad!

Inevitably, your changes happen again
And we wake up not knowing where we are
And the world loves these changes
Some take out the mix-up and define where we are, yeah

And if you choose the long road
Make sure you have a strong hold within your heart
'Cause they will try to use you, control you, and abuse you
Before you get too far, yeah

So never mind the scars, no

You still climb above the stereotypes
'Cause it is very unlikely that lightning will strike twice
But if you keep a watch on the signs
A crash won't be an inferno
You're sure to reach the higher heights

And take a little time to open up your eyes
And stand on your own two feet, yeah
'Cause clinically, you were born in it
To this world you were thrown
An individual you were meant to be

So be yourself
Don't bother copying someone else's vibe
You know you couldn't even if you tried
You've got something better deep inside
Than the bomb you tried high

So be yourself, follow your heart
And set your spirit free
Unleash all of your creativity
And whatever it is you choose to be
It'll be alright with me

'Cause I don't wanna change you
'Cause if you turn into something that you're not
I really hate to see you go
I don't wanna give it to you
I just wanna tell you
Whether you never knew nothing or if you blew
Into a bright shining star
I will always love you just as you are

Yeah, it's only a matter of time
Before you find that there is something inside
That's trying to wake up and burst out of your seams

And it might take a day, a month, a year
Before you hear your inner voice
And make the choice to follow your dreams
I know it seems impossible
But in fact, it's probable
That this path was laid out for you to walk
I know it's cheaper to talk

But you're worth more than that
So let your actions speak volumes
And they will call you prophet
By what you know so well

So be yourself, follow the ways
That are written in your heart
Don't let the strength you work for fall apart
'Cause they could never take away your heart
So don't you ever give up, no

'Cause they will try to change you
Make you into something that you're not
I really hate to see you lost
They will try to get to you fast
But let me tell you
Whether you never knew nothing or if you blew
Into a bright shining star
I will always love you

Never drop until you never put myself above you
All I have, I'll give you
And if I'm only able to see you break away
Don't wanna dream to come home later till you crash my car
I will always love you just as you are

When everyone is asleep
Taking their sheets and dreaming
I lie awake and contemplate the library
Even weak in the threads of my heart
Nor I ever thought every struggle, every fix, every break

No matter what, I will watch my soul bleed
But hear myself above the bad things I see
'Cause they will try to take your life
Finally break free
And when I break through
I will wait for
I will wait for
I will wait for you

I will always love you just as you are
I will always love you just as you are

I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you

I will wait for you, whether in the midst of the sea
I will wait for you
I will wait for you when the darkness has no reason
