Just because I sometimes can't find the words to speak
Just because I sometimes falter or fall
Just because my body has been damaged
Doesn't mean I am different or weak

Just because my hair grew thinner, my skin pale
Just because my memory can be lost
Just because I was pumped full of poison
Doesn't mean I'm going to fail

Just because I am barren, my fruit has gone
Just because I am ageing now
Just because you fear it, fear death
Doesn't mean I'm to be forgotten

Just because I am me, my own salvation
Just because I have friends, true and pure
Just because I hold my head high
Just because...
