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
