Life In General

One day you're born, one day you die

And ev'rything inbetween's called life

You grow old tryna be yourself

In a world where you're supposed to be someone else

But no one ever tells you how to find

That elusive thing called peace of mind

So you run for what they say is right

With weary legs and blinded sight

So walk the ancient road of man

And try your best to understand

Piece the puzzle, pay the price

Learn how not to roll the dice

They tell you what you have to be

But all you have to be is free

My, don't the days float by

Like a lazy cloud in a summer sky

Through all the things that a life must be

Like a tiny raft in a stormy sea

And as for you, have you paid the cost?

Have you lived and died, Have you loved and lost?

So walk the crumbling road of man

And try your best to understand

Of why we're filled up full of lies

Like dirty social compromise

They tell you what you have to do

But all you have to do is be you

you have tried to capture the eternal human dilemma of choosing between what others say and what our  heart wants ... very aptly."all you have to do is be you" ...... so true.
