TO BE YOU
Stephen Jay

The Universe spoke
And said I’ve got a plan for you
A little something for you to do
You’ve got to be you
So I listened real close
Who in the world could I ever be?
That would be someone other than me
I wondered what I’d see
A lightning bolt broke
With thunder and a tiny voice
And said if you could be
I’d let you be me
If I could be you, and do what you do
Know the things that you knew
My dream would come true

It said I’ll give you one choice
I won’t give you two
It won’t make a difference to me
The difference will be you
On a long, long road
And every inch a mile away
See what you can do, just be you
If you could be me
And see what my eyes see
And have some of my disability
Maybe we’d agree, eventually
You’ve got to be you
Get to do the thing you do
Get to do the things you do
Make a wish and it’s true
Got to be you
See through your point of view, to be you
If I could be you, then you could be me
And see what I see
Could never disagree
If you could be me
But you’ve got to be you, you get to be you
Get to do the things you do
You’ve got to be you.
