As I Am Video (MV)

My hands are held out, this is who I am
My heart's in one hand and dreams are in the other
No shoes on my feet trying to be discreet
As a child, all I wanted to do is sit by your big toe
You gazing into my eyes, never letting me go

Take me as I am or not at all
Whether I stand or whether I fall
This is all I have to offer
I'm holding it up to you
Revealing the truth
As I am

Feeling used and abused, taken advantage of
I lay broken and torn, even my spirit is worn
People take and take, it was never enough
I fell time, and time again,
Put me back, together again

I take everything I thought to be real
All of the lies that made me feel
Unloved, rejected, and abandoned by you
Prove them wrong and mend my heart too
So I know I'm loved, accepted, and wanted by you!
