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
