Be Yourself

Been listening to Audio Slave today. The one song that is standing out in my mind is 'Be Yourself'.

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
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

And to be yourself is all that you can do

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

And to be yourself is all that you can do.

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

But to be yourself is all that you can do

Great song, great lyrics. It is about where I am at. I am me, and that is all I can do. Win or lose, I am okay within myself. Sure I might be hurt, but I cannot control that unless I refuse to ever take a chance. I am trying to make sure I take my chances. That too is all I can do.

Whether it is enough for anyone but me is beyond me. I can only let it go and have faith in myself.
