True to Yourself

[Verse 1] Man in the mirror is forsaken trust Will haunt him wherever he goes The knees of the devil will shake my love If I were to break what I know And time and time when I feel those vibes Frustration rises again And I wish in those times you could see my eyes and remember once more who I am [Chorus] True, to yourself my love Be true to yourself True, to yourself my love Be true to yourself [Verse 2] Man on the street with his cardboard box Feeding his dog with his change Told me he loved her with all of his heart Without her he'd never be the same And sometimes at night when I close my eyes I think of them cold in the rain As long as he's holding her close by his side Together they'll always be okay [Chorus] True, to yourself my love Be true to yourself True, to yourself my love Be true to yourself [Verse 3] Your wings have been clipped once or twice, my love The strength of your legs took their place Your father, he taught you to be loved the proper way Your mother the rock in that space And people are people Most do their best For those people we are blessed Stick and stones may break our bones But nothing can break our nest [Chorus] True, to yourself my love Be true to yourself True, to yourself my love Be true to yourself
