Just Be
© 2005 Violet Vonder Haar

I know my place and I know the rules,
stay on the right side and do what you’re ‘sposed to.
Say what they wanna hear
and show them what they wanna see
and everyone’ll get along so happy.
Until someone breaks loose and wants to be free,
become independent, step out of their normality.

It’s all for our own good,
yes it’s to keep us in line,
but they seem to have forgotten
what it’s like livin’ in this time.
‘Cuz everyone’s against you, or so it seems,
you’ve got nothing left to clutch to, ‘cept your dreams.

It only takes a few words and alotta guts.
Say how you feel and do what you trust,
become the change that you wanna see and be,
Just Be, all you can be!
