I know you hate me
But if you could only see me
The way I see all of you
Look at all your faces
Children, husbands, wives
God you're all so beautiful
I envy you, your lives
Going to work, building your schools
Throwing a football or swimming in pools
Out in the sun, living by rules
I can learn how if you teach me the tools
I know I'm strange
So help me change
Please
Let me walk among you
Let me show my face
I can learn to live with you
I can earn my place
I will move a mountain
Your wish is my command
And someday you may want to shake my hand
I will paint your houses
I'll milk your cows at dawn
I will do your laundry
And I will mow your lawn
Let me file your taxes
I am a CPA
And maybe then
You'll shake my hand someday
I can grow a champion rose
Or teach a yoga class
I myself designed these clothes
I can do my part
Must I die then with my nose
Still pressed against the glass
But if... you'd shake my hand
Well thats a start
Yes thats a start
Look in your heart!
And let me join your carpool
Let me drive the car
Let me throw a barbeque
Or join you are the bar
Come and watch the ball game
I'll bake a pecan pie
And I will shake your hand when you drop by
Ohhhhhh!
Bring me to your churches
And let me look inside
Bring me to your weddings
And let me kiss the bride
Thank you all for listening
That's all I had to say
But please
Will someone shake my hand
Won't somebody take my hand
Let just one person shake my hand
