I suppose that I look different
Without the robes and crown
I come this day before you
With no riches, no renown
Here I am no leader
I am just a humble man
And I only ask you take me
You take me as I am

I'm not looking for perfection
I'm not offering a saint
I'm not looking for a pretty bird
To put in some restraint
The only thing I want
Is that you love me if you can
And I only ask you take me
You take me as I am

I offer you a look inside
I offer you that trust
I need your strength to help me fight
The battles that I must
I need you to remind me
Of the light we bear within
That there's more to life than struggle
And the things we seek to win
Don't take me out of duty
Don't take me out of pride
Just take me if the man you see
Is one you’d stand beside
I’m offering an open heart
I’m asking for your hand
And I only ask you take me
You take me as I am
