Just As I Am

i stand before you now
just as i am
whether you do...or don't
give a damn
i will be right here
and i won't stand down
just as i am
i'll be around

i tell it to you now
best that i can
whether you hear...or don't
here i am
i will be right here
and i won't stand down
just as i am
i'll be around

the walls between us may seem strong
but if we bash 'em from both sides
they won't last long

i see you with new eyes
just as you are
whether we're close...or not
it's not too far
you will live your life
and you won't stand down
just as you are
you'll be around
