lyrics

WHO YOU ARE (BE WHAT YOU BE)
Sometimes I held it
The world was mine I hit my stride Sometimes I missed it
Even though I tried and tried
The shades of grey became the thread Through my uncommon life
One thing I know hard to see the world thru black or white
Sometimes I saw deception
I stretched myself a bit too far
And then I failed to notice
The dreams I had would not work out Everything I see or do and Everywhere I looked for truth.
Its take me back to a mantra I can use Be what you be not what you do. Some days when I felt broken
I learned to live alone
I had to trust that I would love again Everywhere around us, reflections
of a so-called perfect life
We think we want to have it all
For what you get the price is high
So that which is before me now
Is just another open door
It takes me to this mantra I can use
Be what you be not what you do
Be what you be
Some people hunger for excellence. Some are hungry to know
Others are hungry for money or power For some its just one big show
If you just do
What you ought to do
But in the end it don’t feel true
Just hook onto to a mantra you can use Be what you be not what you do
its who you are.
Be what you be, Be what you be
Be what you be not what you do
