Let Me Walk Among You Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe

Bat Boy (Original Cast Recording)

2001

[BAT BOY]
I know you hate me. But if you could only see me the way I see all of you...
 
Look at all your faces. Children, husbands, wives
God, you're all so beautiful. I envy you your lives
Going to work, building your schools, throwing a football, or swimming in pools
Out in the sun, living by rules, I could learn how if you'd teach me the tools...
I know I'm strange, so help me change, please
 
Let me walk among you. Let me show my face
I could learn to live with you, I can earn my place
I will move a mountain; your wish is my command
And some day you may want to shake my hand
 
I will paint your houses. I'll milk your cows at dawn
I will do your laundry and I will mow your lawn
Let me file your taxes. I am a CPA!
And maybe then you'll shake my hand someday
I can grow a champion rose, or teach a yoga class
I myself designed these clothes. I can do my part
Must I die then with my nose still pressed against the glass?
But if you'd shake my hand, well, that's a start
Yes, that's a start. Look in your heart!
 
And let me join your carpool- No! Let me drive the car!
Let me throw a barbecue or join you at the bar
Come and watch the ballgame, I'll bake a pecan pie!
And I will shake your hand when you drop by
Oh, bring me to your churches and met me look inside
Bring me to your weddings and let me kiss the bride!
 
Thank you all for listening... that's... all I had to say
 
But please will someone shake my hand?
Won't somebody take my hand?
Let just one person shake my hand!
