Be you


from the ABC set Dust

Walk the wrong way through a crowd;
Head held high , dream aloud,
Say to yourself that one day soon,
You'll touch the stars and kiss the moon

Walk tall my friend and fill your heart
with love and pity and care...
Be the person you need to be
Dream with hope and share

When the heart is turned
the mind is captured
The eyes, so blind , can see;
Fill your lungs with a life untold
Be the person you want to be

Swim upstream , push uphill
Soar wild and high and free
Move the mountains in your mind
Understand that you are me

We are as one in our quest to fight
and die before our foe
It makes no difference who we are
Selfless, selfish , grow
and thrive and love and hold
your dreams up to the world
Create a life that is true and free...

Be you
Be Yourself
Be me

Be whoever you want to be.
