The Way I Am
Embracing Individuality: Alan Jackson's Reflections
Lyrics
Wish I were down, on some blue bayou
Desire to be in a serene place like a blue bayou.
With a bamboo cane, stuck in the sand
Imagining a peaceful setting with a bamboo cane stuck in the sand.
But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there
Feeling unable to reach that desired destination due to the current life path.
So I just dream, and keep on bein' the way I am
Choosing to dream and continue being oneself despite the circumstances.
Wish I enjoyed, what makes my livin'
Wishing to find joy in what sustains one's livelihood.
What I do, with a willin' hand
Doing tasks willingly, but not finding fulfillment in them.
Some would run, but that ain't like me
Not running away from responsibilities, unlike some others.
So I just dream, and keep on bein' the way I am
Opting to dream and maintain one's true self despite dissatisfaction.
The way I am, don't fit my shackles
Feeling incompatible with restrictions or limitations.
The way I am, reality
Accepting the real self, irrespective of societal expectations.
I can almost see, that bobber dancin'
Imagining a carefree moment, visualizing a fishing bobber dancing.
But I just dream, and keep on bein' the way I am
Continuing to dream and embrace one's genuine nature.
The way I am, don't fit my shackles
Reiterating the feeling of not fitting within constraints.
The way I am, reality
Embracing personal truth despite societal norms.
I can almost see, that bobber dancin'
Reimagining the carefree scene of a bobber dancing.
But I just dream, and keep on bein' the way I am
Persisting in dreaming and staying true to oneself.
Yeah, I just dream and keep on bein' the way I am
Continuing the cycle of dreaming and being authentic.
