Testo As I Am - Dream Theater
Testo della canzone As I Am (Dream Theater), tratta dall'album Lost Not Forgotten Archives: ...and Beyond - Live in Japan, 2017
Don't tell me what's in, tell me how to write
Don't tell me how to win
This fight, it isn't your life, it isn't your right
To take the only thing that's mine
Proven over time, it's over your head
Don't try to read between the
Lines are clearly defined
Never lose sight of something you believe in
Taking in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window, I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog
I've been trying to justify you
In the end, I will just defy you
To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am
Still running uphill, swimming against the current
I wish I weren't so fucked
Feels like I'm stuck
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
Slow down, you're thinking too much
Where is your soul?
You cannot touch the way I play or tell me what to say
You're in the way of all that I believe in
Taking in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window, I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog
I've been wasting my breath on you
Open minds will descend upon you
To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am, yeah
To those who understand, why I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, come on
Not under your command, I know where I stand
While I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am
As I am
Yeah
As I am
Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son, to include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin 'til the sandman, he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
As I am
And I am
As I am, as I am
As I am, as I am
Ooh
