Take Me As I Am
from the musical Jekyll & Hyde
Music by Frank Wildhorn, Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse
Sometimes I see past the horizon
Sure of my way where I am going
But where's the prize I have my eyes on
Where, there is just no knowing
And when despair tears me in two
Who can I turn to but you
You know who I am
Take me as I am
Look in my eyes who do you see there
Someone you know or just a stranger
If you are wise you will see me there
Love is the only danger
Love needing me, love needing you
We'll make that one dream come true
You know who I am
Take me as I am
Though fate won't always do what we desire
Still we can set the world on fire
Give me your hand, give me your heart
Swear to me we'll never part (we'll never part)
You know who I am (you know who I am)
This is who I am (this is who I am)
Take me as I am
Find the answer reflected back to you in your love. Doubts are erased when you are
accepted as you are, the whole package deal. It's a
risk worth taking. It's a risk worth asking for. Ask for it.
