Wande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running through the streets, wanna be, be yourself
Find your way, yeah
Even when you feel away, yeah, ayy
You gon' find your way
Even when you feel away
You'll be okay
Who you wanna be when you wake from your sleep, yeah
Don't be a clone, you were made too unique, yeah
Got some dreams, but you too 'fraid to speak, yeah
All alone, take a step plant a seed
Can you just believe, yeah
I think I'm finding myself, hey
God asked me
Who you wanna be when you wake from your sleep, yeah (yeah)
Don't be a clone, you were made too unique, yeah (yeah)
Got some dreams, but you too 'fraid to speak, yeah (Yeah)
All alone, take a step plant a seed
Can you just believe, yeah
I think I'm finding myself
Hey, God told me, just be yourself
Oooh, oh
Oooh, oh (Hey)
Oooh, oh
Oooh, oh
Yeah, ayy
Who you wanna, wanna be when you see the ceiling at night uh
When you're home and you're all alone,
Don't you know your future too bright
You wanna be somewhere else, when you working that 9 to 5, ayy
Slave away, work pay to pay check, but there's way more to life, yeah
You keep running away from what's inside (Inside)
You just trying to survive, you're supposed to thrive (Thrive)
Don't run from moments like this
You were made in His likeness
You're a child of God
They may think it's odd but have faith to see life shift
Who you wanna be when you wake from your sleep, yeah
Don't be a clone, you were made too unique, yeah
Got some dreams, but you too 'fraid to speak, yeah
All alone, take a step, plant a seed
Can you just believe, yeah
I think I'm finding myself
Hey, God told me, just be yourself
Who you wanna be, wanna be, be yourself yea
Running through the streets, wanna be, be yourself yea
Who you wanna be, wanna be, be yourself yea
Be yourself aye, be yourself
I'm gon' find my way
You gon' be okay
I'm gon' find my way
You gon' be okay
Find your way, yeah
Even when you feel away, yeah, hey-ay
You gon' find your way
Even when you feel away
You'll be okay, you'll be okay
