Can I Just Be Me

Can a roll roll a role?
Can a flea flee a flea?
Can a sea see a sea?
  Can I just be me?

Can a right write a right?
Can a sight cite a sight?
Can a knee knee a knee?
  Can we just say oui?

Can a Pole poll a Pole?
Can a Thai tie a Thai?
Can an aye eye an aye?
  Can I just be me?

Can a no know a no?
Can a hue hew a hue?
Can a Sioux sue a Sioux?
  Can IOU?

Can a ware wear a ware?
Can a bear bare a bear?
Can a Bea be a bee?
  Can I just be me?
