When You Get To Be You
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.
Where you gonna go when you go where you wanna go
Who you gonna be when you get to be you
Well you got more money then you got good sense
And a dump truck full of fair weathered friends
You say you're gonna change but I don't know how
You done split your personalities a hundred ways now
Well I wonder if you'll ever be satisfied'
'Til you walk on water at high tide
There's only one man ever did that feat
And He's a whole lot better then you and me
Yeah
Where you gonna go when you go where you wanna go
What'cha gonna do when you do what you do
How you gonna feel when you feel like you wanna feel
Who you gonna be when you get to be you
Well you're right at home feeling out of place
Looking in the mirror at a stranger's face
Yeah baby you're living in a world of your own
Smack dab in the middle of the twilight zone
Baby your life is like science fiction
But ain't you tired of all that friction
They say the truth will set you free
Whatever it is baby you can tell me
Yeah
Where you gonna go when you go where you wanna go
What'cha gonna do when you do what you do
How you gonna feel when you feel like you wanna feel
Who you gonna be when you get to be you
Oooo when you get to be you
Take a vacation
Try some meditation
Get yourself a new look
Maybe even read a book
Whyn't you get your mind right
Get a little hindsight
Maybe you can focus in on who you are
And where you been, where you gonna go
Where you gonna go when you go where you wanna go
What'cha gonna do when you do what you do
How you gonna feel when you feel like you wanna feel
Who you gonna be when you get to be you
Where you gonna go
What'cha gonna do
Oh how you gonna feel
Well who you gonna be when you get to be you
Who you gonna be when you get to be you
