When I look at the Pictures
Welcome back. You belong here.
When I look at the pictures
Of rock stars and wanna be’s
I can almost believe
I can be
I can be
But I know better
I know better
I’m me
When I watch the videos on You Tube
And see the guitars glitter
In the ambers and reds
As the crowd grows wild
I can almost believe
I can be just like them
But I know better now
I know better
I’m me
Me is what I am
Not what I see on TV
Me is not that bad
It’s actually pretty good
If I put the pursuit down
To follow what’s on TV
And instead embrace the real me
What would be of my life?
It would be priceless
It would be filled with rightness
To pretend I’m all that I do
Is not that fun anymore
It drives me away from truth
It keeps me from being in the flow
I want to be me
I want to be free
Release me from the theater
Of acting on a stage
Instead I want to say hello
And talk and listen
And feel completely scared
But knowing I am me
Knowing I am free
From the old me
Into the new me
Have a great day,
Into the future,
