Lyrics
Be Yourself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel-yard
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
Yeah
And to be yourself is all that you can do
Hey
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Healthy or insane
And be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
Be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid enough
Been put upon or been held up
Every single memory of the good or bad
Faces of luck
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Oh
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
