Be As You Are |
Virginia Woolf and poetry |
No one seemed to notice me |
Being young was getting so old |
Cheap beer and cigarettes |
Life was like a movie set |
And I seemed to be given no role |
But in times of trouble |
I can turn to my mother |
And I know that she gon' understand |
So at age 18 |
I cried to my mother |
And she told me, «young man» |
«There are moments when you fall to the ground |
But you are stronger than you feel you are now |
You don’t always have to speak so loud, no |
Just be as you are |
Life is not always a comfortable ride |
Everybody’s got scars that they hide |
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah |
Just be as you are» |
They played me on the radio |
And everything was changing, so |
I thought I was all the way grown |
But I can still remember in that cold November |
When I realized I’m all alone |
But in times of trouble |
I can turn to my mother |
And I know that she gon' understand |
So at age 22 |
I cried to my mother |
And she told me, «young man» |
«There are moments when you fall to the ground |
But you are stronger than you feel you are now |
You don’t always have to speak so loud, no |
Just be as you are |
It doesn’t matter if you become some star |
Life is better when you open your heart |
You don’t always have to act so hard, no |
Just be as you are (Just be as you are)» |
Be as you are (Whoa) |
Be as, be as you are (Be as you are) |
Be as you are |
(Be as you are) Be as, be as you are |
If I’m speaking truthfully |
I’m not who I used to be |
And I know some people might laugh |
'Cause my music doesn’t sound the same |
And my head’s no longer shaved |
I’m worried if I’m on the right path |
But in times of trouble |
I can turn to my mother |
And I know that she gon' understand |
So at age 26 |
I spoke to my mother |
And she told me, «young man» |
«There are moments when you fall to the ground |
But you are stronger than you feel you are now |
You don’t always have to speak so loud, no |
Just be as you are |
It doesn’t matter if you become some star |
Life is better when you open your heart |
You don’t always have to act so hard, no |
Just be as you are (Be as you are)» |
Be as you are (Be as you are) |
Be as, be as you are (Be as you are) |
Be as you are (Be as you are) |
Be as, be as you are |
Be as you are |
