"I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
You always tell me that is impossible
To be respected and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I was thinking that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we can give it to people who have some faith
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I have this theory that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
it's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way"
-I'm sensitive, by Jewel
I love this song sooo much. As most of you know I am fairly sensitive and this song hits me so deep when I consider how the world tries so hard to taint us. One of my co-workers said something priceless to me this week. She said "Amy, men don't depict who you are." Men as in mankind... as in people. If people don't like your bubbly smile, or your laugh, the way you sing, the way you dance, the way you look... it doesn't matter. Men don't depict your personality. You ask God to make you who He wants you to be, then you can dress yourself up with trimmings. But basically (now i'm taking from a lesson I heard in church) You are the Christian, named so and so, who like or does such and such. Men don't decide for you, you do. No one can change it but you.
There's nothing wrong with being sensitive.
