Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How does it feel when life doesn't seem real
And you're floatin' about on your own?
Your life is uncertain, so you draw the curtain
Pretendin' there's nobody home
[Verse 2]
But don't theorize, look in your eyes
They can't tell lies
Though you disguise what you see
The mirror is free
[Verse 3]
We once had a savior, but by our behavior
The one that was worth it is gone
Songbirds are talkin' and the runners are walkin'
A prodigal son is comin' home
[Verse 4]
And don't theorize, look in his eyes
They won't tell lies
But if he defies what you see
He'll give you the key
[Verse 5]
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
[Verse 6]
We needed a tutor, so built a computer
And we programmed ourselves not to see
The truth and the lying, the dead and the dying
A silent majority
[Verse 7]
But don't theorize, look in their eyes
Are they tellin' lies?
The ones that they learn on TV
What a way to be free
[Verse 8]
Be yourself
Be yourself
Free yourself
Free yourself (Yes, you can)
See yourself
See yourself
[Verse 9]
Then you can free yourselves
Be yourself (Why don't you)
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Written by: Graham Nash, Terry Reid
