I was born as I am
My mother couldn’t get it
My church wouldn’t bless it
And yet I was only reflecting love

Fear of rejection was always around
Fear of rejection was always around
Fear of rejection was always around
Oh, no

As I tried to find my ways to cope you pray, pray for a sign to a God of love
But you miss I am as I am
As I tried to find my ways to cope you pray, pray for a sign to a God of love
But you miss that just as I am
The divine intervention you’re looking for is me

I can only be who I am
I don’t need to fit all your dreams
I hope that you can see it
All we really need is reflecting love

I used to hate who I am
So many times on my knees
Bagging to fit your needs
I wish that I just had you reflecting love

Fear of rejection was always around
Fear of rejection was always around
Fear of rejection was always around
Oh, yeah

As I tried to find my ways to cope you pray, pray for a sign to a God of love
But you miss I am as I am

As I tried to find my ways to cope you pray, pray for a sign to a God of love
But you miss that just as I am
The divine intervention you’re looking for
The divine intervention I'm looking for
The divine intervention we’re looking for

I was born as I am
And now my mother gets it
