Lyrics
BE TRUE TO YOU
written by Marvin and Raven Taylor and John Scriven
There are many parts you feel you have to play
Acting out unchosen roles
Trying hard to be your one true self
But hanging on to long lost souls
When you leave your dreams dying in the dust
When you hide them deep inside your mind
It's more than dreams you turn your back on
It's yourself you leave behind
Chorus
It's time to be what you were really meant to be
True to you, true to you
You can hide but you can't be free
'Cause the time has come to be
True to you
No one else can keep you from your destiny
The way ahead is free and clear
And though you may not feel you're in control
That's not true, that's just your fear
Trust yourself and rise above those lingering doubts
Use the winds of chance on which you've flown
Don't let the world dictate who you should be
The dream is yours, and yours alone
Chorus (slightly different words)
It's time to be what you were really meant to be
True to you, true to you
The answer's there for everyone to see
You were always meant to be
True to you
Chorus (slightly different words)
It's time to be what you were really meant to be
True to you, true to you
The time has come to set your spirit free
And learn to let it be
True to you
