Friends remain, they linger to hear my last refrain
Die away before they step back into the rain
The kindness is what I depend on
But no one remembers the singer, just the song
Stay who you are
You'll break my heart if you change
The world can be cruel, lonely, loving you only
By taking away what's true
Stay who you are
Stay who you are
More money everybody needs
The maze which we get lost in feeds
The clichés that we swallow as we follow our dreams
The dreams you carry on your back
Are heavy but you live without
Till someone who is out there sings along
Stay who you are
You'll break my heart if you change
The world can be cruel, lonely, loving you only
By taking away what's true
Stay who you are
Just stay who you are
So stay who you are
Well stay who you are
So if you feel like a shadow you should know
That it's okay to do what you can






Well, no, I can see you from the back of the road here
So dream on, so dream on
You'll stay who you are
You'll break my heart if you change
The world can be cruel, lonely, loving you only
But take it away, what's true
But take it away, what's true
Stay who you are
Stay who you are
Oh, stay who you are
Come on and stay who you are
Ooh, stay who you are
Ooh, stay who you are
