Loved For Who I Am

Freeman
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.
