Natalia Zukerman performs her unreleased song Come As You Are, written for an unnamed friend whose family situation causes her to be less open about who she is.
Bear Creek Concert Series, La Grange, TX
I don't know who's tougher
you or your father
he's been at this for awhile
so he comes by it honestly
and you just keep letting honesty pass you by
and I don't know who's darker
you or your mother
it's true you get it from both sides
so it's no wonder that the arms of your lovers
have been the cradle where you hide
come out
come as you are
or keep on waiting for your life to start
those days in high school
put you here on this barstool
you've been telling that story for awhile
but you can put one foot in front of the other
they taught you that much as a child
come out
just come as you are
it might not even be that hard
come out, come out, come out
wherever you are
I expect nothing less from a star
I found an old picture of you and your sister
now she is having a baby girl
and you could teach her everything or nothing at all
so give her a chance to show the world
if you come out
just come as you are
or keep on waiting for your life to start
come out, come out, come out
wherever you are
because you are nothing less from a star
