To Your Own Self ……..

by Kevin Sinclair

Sometimes my head hurts
For reasons I don’t know
Am I feeling uptight
Can’t let it show
And when you walk
Right by my door
I feel so alone
I feel that I’m so poor
Can’t hold my head up
Eyes downcast to the ground
Feeling so low now
Don’t know where I’m bound.

Songs were written to be sung
But I can’t find the right key
Out of breath and gasping
Sliding down onto my knees
There will be no applause
Tonight the show was bad
The audience stood up
Walked out feeling so mad
Where have I gone wrong
I only did it for you
I’m sorry I forgot the words
To your own self be true.

Tomorrow is another time
I can start all over again
Going to keep on trying
Even through all the pain
One flop no need to stop
The show must go on
Need to know you’re with me
Don’t want you to be gone
Going to give it my best shot
It will be a brand new day
I want you there beside me
There can be no other way.
