Accept me the way I am

As I am one of the family.

Even though I’m in a wheelchair,

I must be accepted

The way I am.

 

Accept me the way I am

As I am one of the family.

When I talk

You make fun of my voice.

Sometimes it sounds funny

To me too

But I accept it

And so should you.

 

Accept me the way I am

As I am one of the family.

I might be fatter

Than you think I ought to be

But that’s the way I am

So, that’s the way I am.

 

Accept me the way I am

As I am one of the family.

I rip the door frames

And wreck the walls.

You think I ought to be

A better driver

But I do try hard

So accept me

The way I am.

 

Accept me the way I am

As I am one of the family.

You think the T.V. programs

I watch are dumb.

You don’t like

The kind of  music

I listen to

But you must

Accept the things I like.

 

 

Accept me the way I am

As I am one of the family.

No one is perfect

Not even you.

Don’t think about

What we don’t like

About each other.

Think about

What we do like.

So if you’ll accept me

The way I am,

I’ll accept you

The way you are.
