Be Yourself

[Verse 1]

This world is full of cruel people

They will always pull you down

Don’t give a damn

Fake a smile if you have to

Don’t ever bother to frown

And don’t give a damn

 

Just swing your hands in the air

Like you don’t even care

 

[Chorus]

Go reach out for the stars

And show them who you are

They can’t do anything to you

Go on climbing higher

Achieve what you desire

Let them see what you can be

 

[Verse 2]

Don’t ever let failure stop you

They’ll say its bad time

Don’t give a damn

You can’t have both roots and wings

But one day you will shine

If you think you can

 

Just throw your hands in the air

Like no one’s ever there

 

[Chorus]

Go reach out for the stars

And show them who you are

They can’t do anything to you

Go on climbing higher

Achieve what you desire

Let them see what you can be

 

[Break]

So that one day when you look down

You can scream out loud

And be proud

When you see yourself

But along the way,

Just don’t forget

To be yourself
