The Way I Am
Sandra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And they taught us to believe
And respect the person next to you
Like it was you
When I'm dreaming see this light
When I'm speaking close my eyes
Words are reason
Just a fragment part I feel in my heart
I can't get through to you
How can I find the truth
Have we gone too far to make it real
We just can't change a thing
This is the way I feel
Can't you hear me
This is the way I talk
Baby
This is the way I go
Just believe me
That's the way I am
Na, na, na...
That's the way I am
I'm moving backwards to go on
I've searched solutions for too long
Did I miss the start when I first met you
There was no taboo
I can't get through to you
How can I find the truth
Have we gone too far to make it real
We just can't change a thing
This is the way I feel
Can't you hear me
This is the way I talk
Baby
This is the way I go
Just believe me
That's the way I am
(That's the way I am)
Na, na, na...
That's the way I am
Yes I (I know)
I ain't perfect
That's the nature of nature
But I don't care anymore
That's the way I am
I just can't change a thing
Sandra's song "The Way I Am" talks about acceptance and self-expression. It starts by suggesting that our beliefs should lead us to respect others as we respect ourselves. The lyrics emphasize the importance of not judging people for being different and seeking to be understood just the way we are. The line "Words are reason, Just a fragment part I feel in my heart" shows that words alone cannot convey what one feels deep down. The repetition of the lines "I can't get through to you, How can I find the truth" suggests the struggle to connect and understand one another. Finally, the song concludes with a powerful message that acceptance of oneself and others - flaws and all - is more important than trying to change someone or something.
