Acceptance

Uh huh, yeah.
As I woke up this mornin' and looked in the mirror,(Hey!)
The message that I saw couldn't get any clearer. (No oh oh.)
The one conclusion of what defines me (Oh!)
Is everything I am is a great thing to be.

C-H-I-P-M-U-N-K
What's in a name?
Well, it's all we are,
Who we'll be,
You see, it's everything.

We got the rhythm,
Got the music in us.
It never really mattered what breed we are.
We're little, we're brown, we're different,
So here's a little ditty 'bout acceptance.

Whoever you are,
Wherever you live,
Whatever you look like,
Whatever it is.
The person you see
Is just asking
All of the good stuff
Ain't out, it's in. (Uh.)

You know I heard that people who judge you don't matter,
And so I feel like those who love you won't chatter.
As long as I know you take me for me,
'Cause everything I am is a great thing to be.

I ain't never seen
Anyone who looks a thing like me,
But still, I'm never shy,
Because I know it's all about what's up inside.

We got the rhythm, got the music in us.
It never really mattered what breed we are.
We're little, we're brown, we're different,
So here's a little ditty 'bout acceptance.

Whoever you are,
Wherever you live,
Whatever you look like,
Whatever it is.
The person you see
Is just asking
All of the good stuff
Ain't out, it's in.

This is the moment of truth.
I give it all I've got with no additional proof (yeah.)
I put my cards on the table and deal,
In other words, I only worry 'bout what's real.

'Cause people say this, (this!)
And people say that, (that!)
But I've been being Chris
Ever since way back. (Ah ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh!)

Maybe if you focus,
You can get like me,
'Cause everything you are
Is a great thing to be.

Whoever you are,
Wherever you live,
Whatever you look like,
Whatever it is.
The person you see
Is just asking
All of the good stuff
Ain't out, it's in.

Whoever you are,
(whoever you are)
Wherever you live,
Whatever you look like,
Whatever it is.
(it doesn't matter)
The person you see
Is just asking
All of the good stuff
Ain't out, it's in...
