Lyrics
True to Ourselves
Words and Music: Jason Van Meter
What can you do when they turn off the light
Reach to find where you?re standing-nothing feels right
We fight the darkness and we learn to live on
When it?s 30 years of midnight it?s hard to be strong but?
Chorus
I?m someone you?re someone too
Can we find some way that we can be true to ourselves?
You got your baggage baby, I got mine
Gonna leave them at the station, step out of the line
Can?t love someone if you don?t love yourself
We?re getting nowhere-and respecting nobody else
It?s crazy nothing new
I?ll be me and you can be you
Chorus #1
There?s no way we can change the past
Our forefathers can no longer cover their acts
They made a mess and left us to clean up
Bedtime stories but the children are growing up
Chorus
