The Hardest Battle

To thine own self
You must be true
And sing your own fair song
Don't leave it too long

The hardest battle you can fight
Is just to be yourself
Face the dragon on a hill top shelf and you'll see
Yeah, that's a lonely place to be

A guardian angel said to me
Whether a magpie or whether a crow
Whether your plumage might spoil the show, but you'll do
Yeah, there's room in the world for you

Oh, how the crowd will try to sway you
(Don't give up the fight)
Fight the hardest battle and it won't break you

To thine own self, be true
Said the man with the beard and he's still smiling

Strange little bird sing your own fair song
Whether a jackdaw or whether a kite
Whether your habitat will get you disliked, there's a few
Yeah, there's room at the back for you

To thine own self, be true
So let's stick like glue to our true colours
Now
