As I Am (Live at Madison Square Garden 2010|Explicit) - Dream Theater

Lyrics by：John Petrucci

Composed by：John Petrucci/Mike Portnoy/John Myung/Jordan Rudess

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

Takin' 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 up hill

Swimming against the current

I wish I weren't so ******

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

Takin' 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

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

As I am yeah

As I am yeah
