THE NEED TO BE By Jim Weatherly

To Fulfill The Need To Be,
Who I Am In This World, Is All I Ask,
I Can't Pretend To Be Something I'm Not,
And I Won't Wear A Mask,
You've Touched My Face With Love In Your Eyes,
But Will You Touch My Heart
With The Understanding That It Takes To Realize,
I Just Can't Play A Part.

There's The Need To Be True To Myself
And Make My Own Mistakes,
And Not To Lean Too Hard On Someone Else,
No Matter What It Takes.

So If You're Sure It's Love, Just Be Sure It's Love,
For This Thing Called Me,'Cause I Am What I Am,
And I Have The Need To Be!

I'm Not Fool Enough To Ever Think,
That I Could Be The Master Of My Fate,
But It's Up To Me To Choose My Roads In Life,
Rocky May Well Be The Ones I Take.
There's The Need To Be Something More
Than Just A Reflection Of A Man,
I Can't Survive In Someone's Shadow,
I Need My Own Spot To Stand.

So If You're Sure It's Love, Just Be Sure It's Love,
For This Thing Called Me, I Am What I Am,
And I Have The Need To Be!

After we got thawed out a little from all this snow and ice, our friend Chuck came over and brought us a treat. These are so kewl!! :) I had no idea we can now put our picture on M & M's!! I knew we can put words on them but this was pretty kewl :) When I saw them I just loved the idea so much I had to share them with you. Well, not really them but my story. This is a pretty good drawing of our friend, Chuck.
