lyrics
KNOW YOURSELF
Father said it’s OK to make mistakes,
You’ve just gotta use your head, think logically, find solutions
And you’re gonna be OK if you can learn from those mistakes,
You’re gonna get it wrong as many times as it takes
To get right…
Let none but you decide,
Where your limits lie!
Mother said it’s OK to be unsure,
You’ve just gotta listen to your heart, be patient with yourself,
And you’re gonna be OK cause you’re stronger than you know,
And in the end you’ll find the answer’s been there all along
Waiting for you to believe in yourself, ‘cause
You know who you are, and
You know what to do, ‘cause
You were born to be this version of you,
And all of your uniqueness,
was never meant to be a weakness.
You were built to endure!
And all of those who came before you,
Had laid the stepping stones for you,
So that you could come this far, so
You know who you are, and
You know what to do, ‘cause
You were born to be the best version of you!
Even when you feel like you’re all alone,
Even when you think no one understands.
You always have a friend when you have yourself,
The greatest company you will ever find…
Know yourself.
Father said it’s OK to make mistakes,
You’ve just gotta use your head, think logically, find solutions
And you’re gonna be OK if you can learn from those mistakes,
You’re gonna get it wrong as many times as it takes
To get right…
Let none but you decide,
Where your limits lie!
Mother said it’s OK to be unsure,
You’ve just gotta listen to your heart, be patient with yourself,
And you’re gonna be OK cause you’re stronger than you know,
And in the end you’ll find the answer’s been there all along
Waiting for you to believe in yourself, ‘cause
You know who you are, and
You know what to do, ‘cause
You were born to be this version of you,
And all of your uniqueness,
was never meant to be a weakness.
You were built to endure!
And all of those who came before you,
Had laid the stepping stones for you,
So that you could come this far, so
You know who you are, and
You know what to do, ‘cause
You were born to be the best version of you!
Even when you feel like you’re all alone,
Even when you think no one understands.
You always have a friend when you have yourself,
The greatest company you will ever find…
Know yourself.
