A Part of Me

You can paint a picture
Of who you think I am
You can convince yourself
If you want to pretend
But you'll never know me
Until you learn to understand
You must set me free
Let go of my hand

That picture is not me
It never will be
Come, let me paint the picture for you
Follow my path
And you'll see the truth
Just open your heart
And turn off the judge
I'll show you a part of me
That you'll learn to love
