You Be You

You be you
And I'll be me
All caged birds should be set free
If your mind causes you to fit in
Then by all means
And without a doubt
Cut it off
So you can live within

What to be
So confused and smart
Where to go
With childhood's dreams or with your heart
You can only stomp on a fire so long
Till you get burned you get burned
Not knowing right or wrong

You be you
And I'll be me
All caged birds should be set free
If your mind causes you to fit in
Then by all means
And without a doubt
Cut it off
So you can live within

Peoples' porches
Donned in smiles
Young white shirts
Soldiers standing in lines for miles
In a box
Socially must impress
For fear of wrong
For fears of wrong
Words and lies that they must confess

Hello my friends
My Sunday spiritual counterparts
Behind the smiles
Speaks so ill but still knows your heart
Well under the roof, the lord has built
Lift off the mask
All unsuspecting flowers
Must sincerely wilt
The gold man with horn to blow
We look up
At his frozen facade
All for show

You be you
And I'll be me
All caged birds should be set free
If your mind causes you to fit in
Then by all means
And without a doubt
Cut it off
So you can live within

By all means
And without a doubt
Cut it off
So you can live within

By all means
And without a doubt
Cut it off
So you can live within
