In the past we've been told to fear Strange new things as they're coming near Sometimes we listen without heed or care We let our minds close before we see what is there It's not like we try to let the world fly by Without thinking of truth or what is all right So if you stop to consider a world that is bigger We might just stop and consider this world Chorus: Come as you are, Oh come as you are (x4) There's no room for anger and hatred Of people and things we have not faced yet We're so quick to condemn by the color of skin Before we look closely at what makes a heart beat So if you take a step backwards And see how awkward it is to stay closed and protected in castles You may come to a new understanding of freedom When you wave your arms and shout in the air Chorus
