Please come into my life
But don�t try to take over
Please help me to think
But don�t try to think for me
Please help me find a better way
But don�t expect me to do it your way
Please help me even if I�m wrong
Help me to stand again
But don�t carry me
Please help me to move forward again
Even if we move forward in different directions
And last of all
If you can�t help me to be
What I want to be
Then please don�t hurt me
By trying to make me
What you expect me to be
