["Just the Same" by Barnaby Bright]
? And I'm the kind of girl your parents warned you of ?
? I wish I could hold a steady job like I can love ?
? And I swear sometimes I feel like I could drown ?
? At the thought of settling down ?
? Like every other good girl does ?
? But you still love me when push comes to shove ?
? And I pinch myself every day ?
? Still can't believe it, when I hear it, hear you say ?
? Oh thank God you were born this way ?
? I like you just how you came ?
? Oh thank God you were born this way ?
? 'Cause you and I, we're just the same ?
[gentle acoustic guitar music]
? And I've got a way of winning every time we fight ?
? I can't admit it, but you're almost always right ?
? And bless my bleeding heart and all its hurts and holes ?
? That make me who you know ?
? This stubborn soul here at your side ?
? Boy you must love me to let so much slide ?
? And I pinch myself every day ?
? Still can't believe it, when I hear it, hear you say ?
? Oh thank God you were born this way ?
? I like you just how you came ?
? Oh thank God you were born this way ?
? 'Cause you and I, we're just the same ?
? When somebody knows you, when somebody needs you ?
? When somebody loves you in spite of you ?
? Oh thank God you were born this way ?
? 'Cause I like you just how you came ?
? Oh thank God you were born this way ?
? 'Cause you and I, we're just the same ?

["Here I Am" by Barnaby Bright]
[upbeat folk music]
? I went out to the fortune teller ?
? On the corner of town ?
? I said, help me find my purpose ?
? And I laid my money down ?
? She said, love, love hold your tongue ?
? You got time and too much fire in your lungs ?
? I said, but who will change the courses ?
? Of the earth and wind and sea? ?
? Seems no one else is trying ?
? So why the hell not me? ?
? And I left her tiny room ?
? With my tail between my legs ?
? I left with no more wisdom than I had before I came ?
? And I looked up to the heavens ?
? And I pleaded with the sky ?
? I'm small and I'm tired and I'm hopeless ?
? But I'm here, world ?
? Oh I'm here, world ?
? Here am I ?
? Ooh ooh, oh oh oh ?
? I walked by the old woman ?
? Who begs along my street ?
? I passed her many times ?
? And never once our eyes did meet ?
? But today I slowed my pace and looked her way ?
? The woman so many have ignored ?
? And I said, I'm very sorry ?
? That I never stopped to say ?
? How are you this morning? ?
? It's a very lovely day ?
? And her eyes grew rather wide ?
? And her mouth turned up to smile ?
? She took a few steps forward and she said ?
? Why, thank you child ?
? Most days I feel unseen ?
? Forgotten and unclean ?
? But I've lived and I've learned and I'm trying ?
? And I'm here world ?
? Oh I'm here world ?
? Here am I ?
? Ooh ooh, oh oh ?
? Oh yeah yeah ?
? Ooh ooh yeah ?
? Ooh ooh ?
? I sat down at the table with a relative long lost ?
? I dread this every time and smiled ?
? Although that's what I thought ?
? But her words pierced a hole in my heart ?
? She said honey, when did all this fighting start ?
? You can stay right there on your side ?
? And I'll stay right here on mine ?
? None of us is budging ?
? No one's changing no one's mind ?
? I know we can't agree on almost everything ?
? But we're flesh and we're blood and we're human ?
? So much more the same than we are different ?
? To survive like we know what the hell we're doing ?
? Here I am world, hear am I ?
? Here I am, oh here I am, oh here I am ?
? Here I am, oh here I am, oh here I am, whoo ?
? Here I am, oh here I am, oh here am I ?
