Strong As I Am

Father, look in my eyes See me as I really am You made me, now take me Tell me how it feels now Behold, your flesh has come of age Forsake me, you break me Strong as I am There's something about this thing that scares me Strong as I am There's something about this thing that dares me Strong as I am There's something about this thing that haunts me Strong as I am There's something about this thing that taunts me Mother, let me heal you Your pain has lasted far too long Release it, it kills you See me as I feel you The love you would not share Is tired of waiting Strong as I am There's something about this thing that scares me Strong as I am There's something about this thing that dares me Strong as I am There's something about this thing that haunts me Strong as I am There's something about this thing that taunts me Will I leave them? I say no They ask me, "Will you leave us?" I say no
