Just The Way I Am

[00:04.59] If you hear me crying in the night
[00:09.02] Pretend that you don't hear me it's alright
[00:14.46] Don't ask me why I'm crying, please don't make a sound
[00:19.87] I don't know why, it's just the way I am
[00:25.25] And if you think I act a little strange
[00:30.76] And you don't understand when I do things
[00:35.20] Like running through the fields while the rain is pouring down
[00:40.67] I don't know why, it's just the way I am
[00:46.03] And even though you may not understand me
[00:51.40] I hope that you'll accept me like I am
[00:55.97] For there are many sides of me, my mind and spirit must be free
[01:01.45] And I might smile when other folks would frown
[01:05.02] I don't know why, it's just the way I am
[01:13.10] I might go out chasing butterflies
[01:18.55] And if I fail to catch one I might cry
[01:23.01] And if you want me you might find me in the meadow walking 'round
[01:29.47] I don't know why, it's just the way I am
[01:34.81] I might be home and busy cleaning house
[01:39.36] And in the middle of my work I might go out
[01:44.78] And go play games with children at the playground
[01:49.29] It makes me happy, and that's just the way I am
[01:54.77] And even though you may not understand me
[02:00.10] I hope that you'll accept me like I am
[02:04.63] For there are childish sides of me
[02:07.31] My mind and spirit must be free
[02:10.01] I might smile when you think I should frown
[02:13.68] I don't know why, it's just the way I am
[02:25.40]
