Be (original song)

This song is very dear to me. I love that it's open to interpretation, though it was written about something very specific. I suppose I shouldn't tell you what that is...so just connect, and enjoy :)

You saved me
I wish I could have saved you
But lately
I'm only strong enough to save myself
So blame me
And I won't blame you
'Cause lately it's alright

But oh, be
Like I want you to be
Be
Like your record is free
Be
Just like those words you told me
Be
Like a man

I'm bleeding
When I'm just pleading
Believing
That you're the only one who loves me so
I'm needing
A little bit your healing
Because I'm breathing
Like I've only got a breath to go

Be
Just like the greatest surprise
Be-
fore all the intimate ties
Be
Throughout the scripture's disguise
Be
Like a man

You saved me
I wish I could've saved you
But lately
I'm only strong enough to save myself
So blame me
And I won't blame you
'Cause lately it's alright

Be
Like I want you to be
Be
Like your record is free
Be
Just like those words you told me
Be
Like a God

And I will be a man
Yes...
I will be a man
