Virginia Woolf and poetry
No one seemed to notice me
Being young was getting so old
Cheap beer and cigarettes
Life was like a movie set
And I seemed to be given no role
But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon' understand
So at age 18
I cried to my mother
And she told me young man
There are moments
when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger
than you feel you are now
You don't always
have to speak so loud
no Just be as you are
Life is not always a
comfortable ride
Everybody's got scars
that they hide
And everybody
plays the fool sometimes yeah
Just be as you are
They played me on the radio
And everything was changing
so I thought I was all the way grown
But I can still remember
in that cold November
When I realized I'm all alone
But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon' understand
So at age 22
I cried to my mother
And she told me young man
There are moments
when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger
than you feel you are now
You don't always
have to speak so loud
no Just be as you are
It doesn't matter if you
become some star
Life is better
when you open your heart
You don't always
have to act so hard
no Just be as you are
Just be as you are
Be as you are
Be as you are
If I'm speaking truthfully
I'm not who I used to be
And I know some people might laugh
Cause my music
doesn't sound the same
And my head's no longer shaved
I'm worried if I'm on the right path
But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon' understand
So at age 26
I spoke to my mother
And she told me young man
There are moments
when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger
than you feel you are now
You don't always
have to speak so loud
no Just be as you are
It doesn't matter if you
become some star
Life is better
when you open your heart
You don't always have to act so hard
no Just be as you are
Be as you are Be as you are
Be as you are Be as you are
