Lyrics

Loved For Who I Am

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I want to be loved, for who I am,

Not loved for what I have.

I want to be loved, for who I am,

Not loved for what I have.

Sufferation I know all about,

Struggling, I've been there.

Sufferation I know all about,

Struggling, I've been there.

I couldn't call my mother,

I couldn't call my father,

And if there hear,

They couldn'tanswer.

Jah was my only help,

Jah was my only help.

I want to be loved, for who I am,

Not loved for what I have.

I want to be loved, for who I am,

Not loved for what I have.

See me for who I am,

Know me for who I am.

Love me for who I am,

Move together for who I am.

But Jah was my only help,

But Jah was my only help.

I want to be loved, for who I am,

Not loved for what I have.

I want to be loved, for who I am,

Not loved for what I have.

Going down the street

I learn everything

Going down the street

I see everthing

I see the people who love me

And the people I know.

But Jah was my only help,

But Jah was my only help.

I've got to move on in life,

Regardless, the struggle

Is alive.

I will never, never

Give up the fight.

I want to be loved, for who I am,

Not loved for what I have.

I want to be loved, for who I am,

Not loved for what I have.

I can't turn my back on life

I will hold up high.

I can't turn my back on life

I will hold up high.

Sufferation I know all about,

Struggling, I've been there.

Sufferation I know all about,

Struggling, I've been there.

I couldn't call my mother,

I couldn't call my father,

And if there hear,

They couldn'tanswer.

Jah was my only help,

Jah was my only help.
