On My Knees
To hold to that which is letting go
Pretend there is love that time will grow
Suffer all sadness that each failure allows
Try to make happiness without a clue how
I cannot be a prince or even try to be a virgin
I cannot make myself a compleatly different person
But if I had the power to be what you want me to be
I would not be a liar and I would just stay me
Because if my mother can love me just as I am
Then there must be someone for me
Who I'm sure who can
