'be Yourself'
One girl, one mind
She grabs one costume
And another and another.
Anything to hide away,
Safe from the world
The cruel, cruel world.
Take out the make-up
Put it on and don't go on stage;
She is afraid of the cruel, cruel words.
The words 'Be Yourself' surrounded her
She shed the costume and make-up,
And that has made all the difference.
