Be Yourself

MY DREAMS KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT
MIND RACING IN THE TV LIGHT
I TALK TO GOD FROM THE EDGE OF THE BED
BEGGING FOR A SONG THAT I HAVEN’T WRITTEN YET
CAUSE I AM VALUED BY MY SUCCESS
NO REST IF I WANNA BE THE BEST
GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WHAT WITHOUT BEING TOO DIFFERENT
OR IT’S LIKE YOU DON’T EXIST

SO I SING ABOUT SMALL TOWNS AND DIRT ROADS
A LOVE THAT I HAD THAT HAD TO LET GO
THERES ONLY SO MANY WAY YOU CAN SAY IT THOUGH
BUT WE LIVE AND DIE BY THE RADIO
SO LOOK LIKE HIM SOUND LIKE THEM
ACT LIKE THAT IF YOU WANNA FIT IT
CAUSE WE ALL JUST WANT TO FIT IN
YEAH WE WANT TO FIT IN

YEAH I WANT TO BE GREAT
BUT I AINT CAUSE I FAKE WHAT I MAKE
YEAH I THINK THAT ITS TIME TO CHANGE
STOP WAITING ON THE WORLD FOR HELP
STOP WORRYING ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE
BE YOURSELF

YEAH MUSIC’S MAGIC AND I’M AN ADDICT
ADDICTED TO THE REACTION I GET
WHEN PEOPLE RELATE
TO WHAT I’M SINGING IN THE SONG THAT TOOK ME YEARS TO MAKE
HEY THESE DAYS
SOMETIMES MUSIC DON’T FEEL THAT WAY
CAUSE I’M TOO BUSY WORRYING
BOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
THAT I CAN’T THINK
BEFORE I START I’M CAGED
I HEARD A GREAT MAN SAY
DON’T FOCUS ON THE END RESULT
IF YOU WANNA WIN THE RACE
PACE
PRAY
AND BE READY WHEN THEY OPEN THE GATE

YEAH I WANT TO BE GREAT
BUT I AINT CAUSE I FAKE WHAT I MAKE
YEAH I THINK THAT ITS TIME TO CHANGE
STOP WAITING ON THE WORLD FOR HELP
STOP WORRYING ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE
BE YOURSELF

YEAH I WANT TO BE GREAT
BUT I AINT CAUSE I FAKE WHAT I MAKE
YEAH I THINK THAT ITS TIME TO CHANGE
STOP WAITING ON THE WORLD FOR HELP
STOP WORRYING ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE
BE YOURSELF
