Don’t be afraid or scared to do and say what you really feel
You could be anything that you choose - for you to decide
All you do and say you only do if it’s in keeping with the people around
And yet you have the nerve to say, “I know my own mind”
Do you really know yourself ?
With respect I’d like to say I don’t think you do
There’s many selves of you that you don’t even know about
You buried them long behind you
Cos somebody has criticized you
Or did they hurt you or leave you alone ?
When you were young you felt very clear
On what you wanted to do and say
But then you grow a little older
And life wears you out a bit and you forget your way
All the paths that you could choose
To create a future for you
Which way are you gonna go ?
(What path will you choose ?)
Will it be firm and strong ?
Will it be weak and unsure ?
Mix with the strong and their positive aims ?
Or weak-minded lazy people ?
Good or bad ?
