Be What You Are
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.
be what you are
believe what you say
but don't tell me
what I have to play
be where you are
change by the day
but don't tell me
what I'm here to say
land on your feet
no room for mistake
but don't tell me
that you're not afraid.
tap on the glass
you're still on display
just don't call me
when it slips away
