BE YOURSELF
For many years, I didn’t know
I had to guess, time moved so slow,
The aching that I felt from deep within.
Only now in retrospect, the truth is out,
I did suspect,
I really don’t know where I should begin!
I feel so great, I feel so free!
If someone stole my identity
They’d probably take one look and give it back.
Be yourself, be who you are,
Your obvious truth, you’ve come so far
To show the world the things that it has lacked.
There is no pain, there is no doubt,
I know my place and my place is out,
It’s really not an issue any more.
If life’s a drag, then drag along,
And strut your stuff and sing a song
And give it large and dance on life’s dance floor.
Embrace yourself, do so with glee,
Approach each day so merrily
And don’t let anything negative get in your way.
Be yourself, not someone other
Don’t hide away there undercover
And when you do just smile and then say, ‘yay!’.
