I wear my heart on my sleeve

It’s just the way it goes

It’s not my fault

Sometimes I seem overexposed 

*

If my only explanation 

Causes frustration

We think the day away

With the view that we chose

Defined by defiance

To all those opposed

*

Now I need you more:

And an alliance that shows

So we can be who we are

And everyone knows

**

I put my best foot forward

Then you step on my toes

It’s not your fault

I was getting too close

*

In another situation

We share pure elation

We dance the day away

With the one that we chose

Smiling in defiance

to all those opposed

*

Now I need you more:

And an alliance that shows

We can be who we are

as our good love grows

**

I am who I am

I do the best I can

We can get along together

When we understand

How to approach each other

How to interact

And find productive peace

To get our lives on track

*

We can work together

And care enough

Get what we need

And then share stuff

“No, I won’t because I’m so wicked”

Thinking like that is a bad habit 

And we all have to kick it

*

We are who we are

We will get very far

If we get along together

We connect like superstars

In how we approach each other

How we interact

We can find productive peace

And bring the balance back

**

I say what I want to say

That is best I suppose

It’s no one’s fault

Which way the wind blows

*

With great consideration

And no hesitation

We work the day away

For the cause that we chose

Unwinding defiance

Of all those opposed

*

Now I need you more:

And an alliance that shows

So we can be who we are

And a better energy flows
