Lyrics

Original


Your father wants you to be a corporate lawyer
You feel more like Tom Sawyer
The worst crime is not being true
The real hard time is being you

Wow, oh, oh, you’re original

Your mamma says you’d make a fine doctor
You’d settle for a not bad actor
The cure all medicine is being true
The greatest act is being you

Wow, oh, oh, you’re original
A true original

Your grandpa say son be a brick layer
You’d much rather be a dragon slayer
The mighty challenge is being true
The real courage is being you

Wow, oh, oh, you’re original
A true original

It seems as if everyone is telling you what to do
When you know in yourself, it’s going to be up to you
You may wanna touch the sun or touch the moon
Just know what you are, you’re a shinning star

Wow, oh, oh, you’re original
A true original

Your granny says you’re a natural teacher
To you it sounds like being a preacher
The toughest test is being true
The real life lesson is being you

Wow, oh, oh, you’re original
A true original
