Just Being What We Want To Be

The world wants us to see
When worlds want us to see
What worlds want worlds to be
When worlds just want to be and see 
What worlds want us to see and be

But this won't change a thing for me
For me this thing won't change you see
You see for me this change won't be
What a world wants me to see
When a world wants me to see
What a world wants me to see and be

But I will see what I do see
And try and be exactly me
Some want to be exactly what 
The world wants them to be and see
But for me I'll never see or be
What I can never be or see - but that's just me

And I will see what I must see
To always be exactly me
Still seeing what I always see
And being what I want to be
Just me with thee and bein' free
To be and see what we will see and be.
Without a change in thee or me
Just being what we want to be

I am confused... or so I think.
