Be Someone

Shame in your heart
Down on your knees
You’ll never be the one
You want to be
You roam place to place
Always a new town
And you won’t stand and fight
The ones that bring you down

Got everything
You’ll never need
You try to work so hard
So you’ll be free
You try to play the game
Wasting all your time
And you will follow those
Who want to run your life

You want to be someone
You want to make a name
Any road can take you there
If you don’t know the way
You’ve got to take some time
To sort all these things through
And given time you’ll make there
‘Cause things will come to you

Don’t take too hard
These things they do
They always break your heart
And run all over you
Don’t worry about things
You never will control
‘Cause the only thing that counts
Is what’s inside your soul

And I won’t be the one
To tell what to stand for
And I won’t be the one
To tell you what to cry for
And I would never be the one
You have to lie for
‘Cause every step you ever take
Should be your own
