Me Instead Of You

Have you ever seen a sun rise like I have?

Have you ever barefooted in the rain?

Have you ever just walked and had people look at you?

It’s something that I can’t explain.

You’ll never wear my shoes.

You’ll never row my boat.

And you’ll see I will never change.

People say that they’ll look out for me.

It’s all good but I have a plan.

I’m staying me, so just look out for you as

there is a reason I am what I am.

You’ll never wear my shoes.

You’ll never row my boat.

And you’ll see I will never change.

They say I’m down, but I’m here.

And I can feel the love draw near.

What makes me different is a

simple point of view.

And I’m happy being me instead of you.

I hear all the time they’re trying to find a way

to change how people will look and see.

Which matters not to me.

I would like to change the others all around.

You’ll never wear my shoes.

You’ll never row my boat.

And you’ll see I will never change.
