Co-write with Will Carroll.
It has the soulful vocals which seem to be Will's trademark, and I feel this is maybe one of our best.

Matt Schobs (aka Yearbook) of New Zealand has also done a co-write on these lyrics. It's a lovely mellow interpretation of them... Hope you'll also check that out.

I beg you, take me as I am,
No angel, but no devil man,
May you always find the truth in me.

I beg you take my word, I’m scared
Of offerin’ my heart, but truly care
For all that’s good in everyone I see.

CHORUS
Please take me as I am,
A man floundering,
Yet to find his way,
I pray you’ll understand,
And take me as I am.

Break through all the high defences,
All the boundaries and fences,
Walk freely in my world
As only kind and brave ones,
Brave ones can..

I’m begging on my hands and knees,
That you will please believe in what I say,
I try to paint a picture that is clear.

I beg you, try to see within my heart
And you will be a part, a major part
Of everything that’s dear to me.
I beg you

I’m begging with my lonely soul
That you will come to hold me in your heart,
Stand by my side against the rising tide.

I beg you, read between the lines
Where all the words are in disguise,
Or maybe still unwritten, hidden, deep inside.

Take me as I am, a man floundering,
Yet to find his way, I pray
You’ll understand and take me as I am.
Take me as I am, take me as I am.
