just be YOU

Some days are hard to take
and you smile and try to fake
a cheerful presence so you can relate
to what you might think is around you...

watching from the outside in
a fish in a bowl learning to swim
fighting to let go and be within
and see what this life could bring...

today could be tomorrow's dream
nothing is what it seems to be
anything that means something to you
could mean nothing to everyone else
so why not just be you, be yourself
since there is no one else?

I'm a leaf blowing in the wind
never knowing where I'm gonna land
but sure enough waking up
everyday to a different hand...

I'm a cloud blowing through the sky
watching different cities pass me by
looking down with big blue eyes
never getting to see the sun rise...

I'm a flower struggling to bloom
in a world infected with dirt and gloom
I'm gonna burst or die real soon
sad to see life never bloom...

I'm an answer to a difficult quest
it's easy if you stop thinking it's a test
the life you lead is not at all a mess
it's just a beautiful and prosperous quest...

I'm looking out from a different view
I'm handing you the hidden clue
the key to happiness through and through
is to be yourself, to just be YOU...
and yes, this could be difficult to do,
but it is promised to simply be true...
just be you
just be you
