Acceptance.

I am who I am,

And nothing has changed.

Though good times or bad.

Its all here arranged.

From day one until now.

With smiles and with fear.

I've loved my whole life.

Its always been clear.

Through the ups and the downs.

I made my own way.

From the choice that I made.

The choice to be gay.

So accept who I am.

And always be proud.

And just look at me.

As one of the crowd.

A simple young man.

As proud as can be.

Who just has one wish.

The wish to be free.

Hey Mister

Lookin' back there's nothin' left to say
Wishin' that this life would slowly fade away
Dreams behind these eyes, no one could know, oh oh
But wake to find there's nowhere left to go

Hey Mister can't you see I'm feelin' so alone?
But then I don't think you'd understand
All I ever wanted was to live life unafraid
All I ever needed was some love

Stories told on weary cardboard signs
Eulogize the lives now left behind
Faces worn and etched with all despair
Passers by, they look but seldom care

Hey Mister can't you see the ring around the moon?
Maybe it's the water in my eyes
All I ever wanted was to live life unashamed
All I ever needed was some love

Livin' on the edge of sanity
Wonderin' how this ever came to be
Feelin' so unnecessary, gotta find some sanctuary
Hey buddy can you spare a dime?

Hey Mister can't you see I'm feelin' so abused?
But really, I don't think you'd understand
All I ever wanted was to live life, what I mean is
All I ever needed was someone
Hey Mister can't you see I'm just a man like you?
Who's tryin' hard to keep his dignity
Maybe if you could just walk a mile inside my shoes
You'd see that I just need a helping hand
Hey Mister please, hey Mister please, beggin' on my knees
Can anybody help me find my way?

Smile

 No matter how its said.
With a look and a smile.
Or a word that is read.
You'll always have style.
True friends you will find
To help find your way.
To help in a bind.
To brighten your day.
The praises we send
to lay at your feet.
Aren't meant to offend
but keep you upbeat.
So have fun here with me.
Its all in good fun.
No fuss and no muss.

Be bright as the sun.
