Let Me Walk Among You

I know you hate me

But if you could only see me

The way I see all of you

Look at all your faces

Children, husbands, wives

God you're all so beautiful

I envy you, your lives

Going to work, building your schools

Throwing a football or swimming in pools

Out in the sun, living by rules

I can learn how if you teach me the tools

I know I'm strange

So help me change

Please

Let me walk among you

Let me show my face

I can learn to live with you

I can earn my place

I will move a mountain

Your wish is my command

And someday you may want to shake my hand

I will paint your houses

I'll milk your cows at dawn

I will do your laundry

And I will mow your lawn

Let me file your taxes

I am a CPA

And maybe then

You'll shake my hand someday

I can grow a champion rose

Or teach a yoga class

I myself designed these clothes

I can do my part

Must I die then with my nose

Still pressed against the glass

But if... you'd shake my hand

Well thats a start

Yes thats a start

Look in your heart!

And let me join your carpool

No!

Let me drive the car

Let me throw a barbeque

Or join you are the bar

Come and watch the ball game

I'll bake a pecan pie

And I will shake your hand when you drop by

Ohhhhhh!

Bring me to your churches

And let me look inside

Bring me to your weddings

And let me kiss the bride

Thank you all for listening

That's all I had to say

But please

Will someone shake my hand

Won't somebody take my hand

Let just one person shake my hand
