Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
[Verse 2]
Yeah
[Verse 3]
And be yourself is all that you can do
Hey
To be yourself is all that you can do
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
And to be yourself is all that you can do (All that you can do)
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do (All that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (All that you can do)
Hey
Be yourself is all that you can do
[Verse 6]
Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart or been held up
Every single memory of the good or bad
Faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
[Verse 7]
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)
Oh
To be yourself is all that you can do (All that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
