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 boquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
Chorus
And to be yourself is all that you can do
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
Chorus
And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid enough
Been put upon or been held up
With 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
Chorus
But to be yourself is all that you can do, eh
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do, eh
To be yourself is all that you can do
And to be yourself is all that you can
To be yourself is all that you can
To be yourself is all that you can do
