Lead Me, Guide Me, Walk Beside Me, Let Me Choose What I Want To Do


I don't care you're not the same as me You don't care I'm not the same as you Why is that so hard for them to see? They always talk but never do They say I have a choice and I should be open with what's out there So how come I don't have a voice and when it comes you they refuse to share? They warned me about people like you and taught me it was wrong But you taught me it's who you are not what you do People like you are the ones who made me strong They're the ones who keep me tied down you and all the others show me what it's like to be free in their sea of rules and prejudice I'm about to drown. With you I don't just want to live I want to be.
