All your secrets are known
You're a solitary prince on a throne
What are promises and kingdoms worth when
Nothing's left for you to keep
Standing in the light alone
Close to being home
Wishing you would only hear me
What are words worth to you
Is it really a matter of truth
If I open my mouth in defense
Will my words mean less to me
And now I choose to sing my song
In a different key
Wishing you would only hear me
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
That you could hear me, hear me
Hear me as I am
That you could hear me, hear me
Hear me as I am
Is it true in your mind
It just happens that life made you blind
Tell me who is your rock, your best friend
Could be your help, your guarantee
And now I choose to sing my song
In a different key
Wishing you would only hear me
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
That you could hear me, hear me
Hear me as I am
That you could hear me, hear me
Hear me as I am
It's not a matter of who, what and when
It's just a moment, not what happened back then
I'm not here to outrage or anything
No, I just want you to listen to what I say
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
Hear me as I am
Hey!
That you could hear me, hear me
Hear me as I am
That you could hear me, hear me
Hear me as I am
That you could hear me, hear me
Hear me as I am
