| Fear will eat you up inside
|
| And if you let it grow it will only multiply
|
| It will control you, never will let go of you
|
| Until it has led to your demise
|
| If you let all this control your life
|
| Then you will have the regret deep inside
|
| Your fears will never be exorcised
|
| You’ve gotta be true to yourself
|
| True to yourself
|
| That’s the only way to be
|
| That’s the only way to go
|
| That’s the only way for me
|
| Above all things you gotta be true to yourself
|
| Yes like you I’ve had my doubts
|
| I had to overcome
|
| I had to figure it all out
|
| It took time, sometimes I wasn’t sure
|
| But somehow I seem to make it all work
|
| Now there’s no more sense of urgency
|
| There’s now self confidence inside of me
|
| I know the person who I’ll always be
|
| And I gotta be true to myself
|
| True to yourself
|
| That’s the only way to be
|
| That’s the only way to go
|
| That’s the only way for me
|
| Above all things you gotta be true to yourself
|
| So now what are you gonna do?
|
| If you set out with something to prove, I’ll tip my hat to you
|
| But if you want to choke
|
| I’m not gonna buy the rope
|
| And when your lips get stiff and cold
|
| I’ll say I told you so
|
| True to yourself
|
| That’s the only way to be
|
| That’s the only way to go
|
| That’s the only way for me
|
| Above all things you gotta be true to yourself |
