Subtle as a river across the desert floor
Vying for attention, getting less and wanting more
Feelin just like Dorothy, the day she fell from Oz
I traveled all this way to find out who I really was, and

Right or wrong - accept me as I am
Not at all - or do the best that 'cha can
Right or wrong - accept me as I am
After all, I'm not your superman

Just below the surface, protected from the past
Broken by your point of view, I hid behind the mask
I was near surrender, trapped in secret pride
Worried that you needed more than what I had inside, but

Right or wrong - accept me as I am
Not at all - or do the best that 'cha can
Right or wrong - accept me as I am
After all, I'm not your superman

Bottom line, gonna be fine whatever you decide
Finally, I can be me no matter what you think
Yesterday, I was afraid to really show my face
It's a new day and I said all that to say
