Lyrics
Someone falls to pieces sleeping all alone, someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence, she finally drifts away
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard and catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave, yeah
And to be yourself is all that you can do, hey
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself down inside himself, he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time, another runs away
Separate or united, healthy or insane
And to be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do), hey
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do), oh
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do), hey
Be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid enough, been put upon or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
Don't lose any sleep tonight, I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do, yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do, oh
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do), hey
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do), yeah
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
