Be Yourself
Fearless Soul Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I believe it′s important we go for everything we want in life because we only have one life to live
So we have to give it everything we get and try to make our dreams, our hopes, our aspirations become reality

No one can tell you what a successful life is
No one can tell you what a great life is
No one can tell you how to be happy or what you should or shouldn't be doing with your life
No one can because you are you unique
What success is for another may not be success for you

What is a great life for another may not be so great for you
What lights up another make them your light

The only way you can be happy in this life
The only way you can be successful is if you be you
No one can tell you what a successful life is
No one can tell you what a great life is
No one can tell you how to be happy or what you should or shouldn′t be doing with your life
No one can because you are unique
What success is for another may not be success for you
What is a great life for another may not be so great for you
What lights up another may dim your light

The only way you can be happy in this life
The only way you could be successful is if you be you
The only way to get the most out of this life is to follow your own path to follow your own intuition
To listen to your own heart, that's where all your answers are
The answer to every question you need an answer for, be yourself
So many are unhappy in this world because they're living lives they don′t want to live so they can fit in
Or because someone that is completely different from them gave advice about how they should be living
You are unique and you must follow your unique path

This doesn′t mean that there isn't useful information out there
There are so many great teachers to learn from
It simply means you only take in what resonates with you
What you know will work for you
Get out of your head and into your heart
Do the things that make you light up
Do more of the things that make you forget to check your phone
More of the things that make you smile
More of the things that make you laugh like a little kid
More of the things that make you proud to be you

Be brave, you only get one shot at this life
One opportunity to live fully, one opportunity to create some magic
It′s okay to say no, sometimes to say no with passion with authentic certainty because you know what is best for you
Not everyone will get It, and that's okay
The right people will want their path with you, and most won′t be able to resist
Because someone who is genuine who is authentically loving life, doing exactly what they want to do
That person is infectious, real passion is infectious
Wake up with passion every day
Wake up every single day and be no one but fully one hundred percent you

I believe it's important that we are always fully ourselves
Even if it means we don′t fit in with other people
Because when we are not truly ourselves, it's impossible for us to be happy
It's impossible for us to be fulfilled
So when you hang with people that you really don′t fit with and you get that feeling deep down
That′s your inner self telling you you're not comfortable, which means you′re not happy

So it's super important that we are always, always fully ourselves
Be true to you
