Come As You Are

LYRICS
In the past we’ve been told to fearStrange new things as they’re coming
near
Sometimes we listen without heed or care
We let our minds close before we see what is there
It’s not like we try to let the
world fly by
Without thinking of truth or what is all right
So if you stop to consider a world that is bigger
We might just stop
and consider this world
Chorus:
Come as you are, Oh come as you are (x4)
There’s no room for anger and hatred
Of
people and things we have not faced yet
We’re so quick to condemn by the color of skin
Before we look closely at what makes a heart
beat
So if you take a step backwards
And see how awkward it is to stay closed and protected in castles
You may come to a new
understanding of freedom
When you wave your arms and shout in the air
Chorus
