You are 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.
Everybody tries to climb a little higher
Higher
You may fool the others
But you can never fool me
Everybody wants to be a little wiser
Wiser
You're giving it all away
So why can't you see
Bridge
You want it so badly
This time you've almost made it
Chorus
You are what you are (x2)
Everybody talks about what they're gonna do
Gonna do
I know it not gonna be easy
But you still gotta try
Everybody feels they want to be a part of you
Part of you
You're giving it all away
Don't you ever ask why
Bridge
Chorus
You can take the chances
You Are what you are
This is what your heart says
You are what you are
Bridge#2
Its not too late
There's still time for you
Only you can make the chance
Only if you wanted to
Solo
Chorus
You can take the chances
You Are what you are
This is what your heart says
You are what you are
You know that you can make it
You are what you are
You've only gotta take it
