Just Be Me
Hawkshaw Kirsty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be make us believe in you
Keep all your light in the dark
Be searching for truth, you must look in the mirror
And make sense what you can see
Just be, just be
They say learning to love yourself
Is the first step that you take when you want to be real
Flying on planes to exotic locations
Won't teach you how you really feel
Face up to the fact that you are who you are
And nothing can change that I believe
Just be, just be
'Cause now I know
It's not so far
To where I go
That I am spared
It's inside me
I need to just be
Just be
I was lost
And I'm still lost
But I feel so
Much better
'Cause now I know
It's not so far
To where I go
That I am spared
It's inside me
I need to just be
Just be
And flying on planes to exotic locations
Won't teach you how you really feel
Just be, just be
