The More I Am

I awoke today And refused to step aside I'm a harsh judge I'll put you down, but it's all for your own good I'm not a cynic and I'm not that cruel I just don't need a lot of things But even I must say That my grim outlook is wearing thin The more vindictive, the less I grin I don't have to I don't have to I don't have to see this way I don't have to I don't have to But I do it anyway I awoke again And looked on through from the other side A song played aloud It made me smile and cry, all at once I stepped aside, I helped, I talked And waved at every passer-by I have a lot of moods But I'm the best when I hold true And relish all the good things that I do I don't have to I don't have to I don't have to see this way I don't have to I don't have to But I do it anyway I don't have to I don't have to I don't have to see this way I don't have to I don't have to But I do it anyway
