Come as You Are - The String Cheese Incident

In the past we’ve been told to fear

Strange 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

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
