Be who you are lyrics

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

Ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

Ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

You don't know who you are,

the road's gonna take you, make you walk too far

You're a liar, you're a thief, you're a star,

but you don't know who you are

You are just a kid with a sentimental heart,

afraid of what would happen before you ever start

And you don't need the baggage and you don't need the stuff

and you don't need nobody to fill your empty cup

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

Ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Be who you are)

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Baby you're a star)

Ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

Never give up, Coltrane

Never been a slave to your own name

You're a poet, you're a fake, you're a star,

but you don't know who you are

We could shine a light here inside the dark

and get a little closer, lonely spark

When there's nothing left to win and you could only lose,

what's keeping you from doing what you always wanna do

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Be who you are)

Ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Be who you are)

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Baby you're a star)

Ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Be who you are)

Lately I've been feeling

like the stars are rolling out for me

Stars are rolling out

Lately I've been feeling

but the stars are rolling out for me

Stars are rolling out

But maybe they're misleading

Is it just a light reflecting off the street?

And you are just a kid with a sentimental heart

And do it for yourself and do it for the art

You don't need the baggage, you don't need the stuff

You don't need nobody to fill your empty cup

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Be who you are)

Ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Be, be who you are)

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Be who you are)

Ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Baby you're a star)

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Be who you are)

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Be who you are)

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta-da-da-da

(Baby you're a star)

Ta, ta, ta-da-da-da
