Lyrics
Verse 1
They’re chasing shadows in the crowd,
Voices loud, but they’re not proud,
Wearing masks to fit the scene,
Forgetting who they’ve always been.
The world’s a stage, a borrowed play,
But you don’t have to lose your way.
Pre-Chorus
Step out from the lines they draw,
Your heart’s the truth, it’s raw, it’s flawed,
No need to hide, no need to break,
Just let your soul awake.
Chorus
Be yourself, everyone else is already taken,
Stand tall, let your spirit awaken,
No one else can sing your song,
It’s been yours all along,
Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.
Verse 2
Mirrors lie when you compare,
Dreams get lost in the open air,
Every scar, every hue,
Paints the story that is you.
The crowd may pull, the tide may sway,
But your light won’t fade away.
Pre-Chorus
Step out from the lines they draw,
Your heart’s the truth, it’s raw, it’s flawed,
No need to hide, no need to break,
Just let your soul awake.
Chorus
Be yourself, everyone else is already taken,
Stand tall, let your spirit awaken,
No one else can sing your song,
It’s been yours all along,
Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.
Bridge
Don’t trade your colors for their gray,
Don’t let your fire slip away,
The world needs you, wild and free,
The one you’re meant to be.
Chorus
Be yourself, everyone else is already taken,
Stand tall, let your spirit awaken,
No one else can sing your song,
It’s been yours all along,
Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.
Outro
So take your step, don’t look behind,
Your truth is yours, one of a kind,
Be yourself, let it shine through,
The world’s been waiting just for you.
