True to Yourself

Fear will eat you up inside
And if you let it grow it will only multiply
It will control you, never will let go of you
Until it has led to your demise

If you let all this control your life
Then you will have the regret deep inside
Your fears will never be exorcised
You've gotta be true to yourself

True to yourself
That's the only way to be
That's the only way to go
That's the only way for me
Above all things you gotta be true to yourself

Yes like you I've had my doubts
I had to overcome
I had to figure it all out
It took time, sometimes I wasn't sure
But somehow I seem to make it all work

Now there's no more sense of urgency
There's now self confidence inside of me
I know the person who I'll always be
And I gotta be true to myself

True to yourself
That's the only way to be
That's the only way to go
That's the only way for me
Above all things you gotta be true to yourself

So now what are you gonna do?
If you set out with something to prove, I'll tip my hat to you
But if you want to choke
I'm not gonna buy the rope
And when your lips get stiff and cold
I'll say I told you so

True to yourself
That's the only way to be
That's the only way to go
That's the only way for me
Above all things you gotta be true to yourself
